Abstract
This is an account of work done in the CILC (Clothing Industry’s Logistics and Communications) research project. A reference model is presented for logistics planning and production control in the clothing industry, organised as an extended enterprise. The CILC reference model is described according to the GIM (GRAI Integrated Methodology) formalism Based on the above reference model, the first goal within the CILC project is to design and implement two system components in the industrial pilot Helen’s Club SA, that is the hub of a network that forms an extended enterprise. The first component is the Logistics Planning Module (LPM) that provides support to multi-site and multi-firm production logistics. The second component, the Factory Scheduling Module (FSM), is designed for factories that belong to an extended enterprise network and supports their local production management needs.
