Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, The author researched the integrated management of quality control processes in manufacturing network using workflow and multi-agent technologies, analyzed the advantages and basic ways of integrated application of these two technologies, established Quality Control Processes Workflow Managed by Agents (QCPWMA) model and discussed the agents’ structure, configuration and execution and so on, then using this model to realize integrated and collaborated management of dispersed quality control processes workflow in manufacturing network. Through this research it can further improve enterprise's ability of quality processes control in complex manufacturing network environment.
