Objective
The textile and clothing companies in Europe - within the regions and increasingly also between them - are traditionally cultivating a co-operative management style which is very similar to the Virtually Extended Enterprise paradigm. They are forced to put into practice the concept of Dynamically Networked and Virtual Organizations on the actual state of the art. The Textile EXTended Enterprise Resource Management (TEXTERM) project will provide them with new work organization concepts, with knowledge management methods and with tools for co- operative planning and scheduling of their resources. In particular procedures to generate, to code and to share organisational, procedural and operational knowledge for flexible network configuration and co-ordination will be developed and implemented in existing industrial partnerships. A virtual demonstration center will support the dissemination of the results.
During the 36 month project, three typical European Extended Enterprise networks representing three textile networks in Germany, Italy and Spain have been analysed and redesigned. Appropriate methods and technologies to meet with the demands for co-ordination and communication, according to the organisational, procedural and operational knowledge sources existing in the networks, have been designed and developed. After having tested the first system prototypes
-developed in close co-operation with industrial partners during the TEXTERM project
-the systems have been implemented and integrated to the environment of the industrial networks' information systems. All of the networks by now continue their transformation process to become fully dynamically networked.
The benefits measured so far mainly concern
-reduction of throughput times (-30%),
-reduction of stock levels (-20%),
-reduction of transport cost (-9%),
-reduction of response time (delivery; -21%),
-increased process efficiency (overhead, data loss, data input errors, better coordination between internal organizational units; +5%), leading to
-higher order fulfilment rate (96%),
-decrease of financial and market-damage, caused by production overhangs and special stock-sales every season (-70%),
-reduction of depreciation need for intermediate and final products (-60%),
-savings in storage costs (0,5% of turnover),
-savings in interest rates (for stocks; 4% of stock value),
-improvement of client satisfaction index (+39%).
