Quality Tracing and Control Information System for Extended Enterprise

With economies tending towards global uniformity, the traditional quality control in a single enterprise has to be innovated. Core competencies or leadership capabilities in quality control have to be strengthened by the complementary capabilities of partners for extended enterprise (E2). So how to establish an economic and effective quality tracing and control information system to trace and control quality of inter-enterprise has becoming one of the studying hotspots currently. In this paper, a quality tracing and control information system for extended enterprise (E2-QTCIS) is explored based on J2EE, and the quality information model of E2 by using product BOM and template technology is established. On this basis, the workflow model of quality tracing and control process and the workflow execution logic of tracing and control quality information nodes are constructed. Finally, a four-layer architecture of E2-QTCIS with network transparency and easy expandability is established. E2-QTCIS can capture all quality information quickly, accurately and wholly, and realize quality tracing and control of E2 dynamically.
