ABSTRACT

Studies have explored the effectiveness of planning and development to apply the concept of resource planning to virtual organizations. Zeleny (1990) proposed that the most common problem encountered by enterprises involved in resource production planning was a tradeoff between quality and cost. He proposed using De Novo programming to eliminate the tradeoff between quality and cost by using an optimized system design to explain De Novo programming, and eliminated its limitations and disadvantages to produce ideal solutions. Bernard et al. (2003) used traditional mathematical programming to solve the interaction and support problem between multiple manufacturing plants and production items. They used mathematical

1 INTRODUCTION

Scientific and technological progress and the popularization of the Internet have made virtual organizations an important industry. Therefore, companies distribute their internal non-core business to external cooperation partners (including third-party and satellite manufacturers). The virtualization of traditional office systems and enterprises provides organizations with the freedom to expand beyond traditional business boundaries. Companies may even become virtual corporations. The current emphasis on supply chain enterprises has increased product outsourcing. In other words, outsourcing has become an important strategy for enterprise management (Baiman et al., 2001). McGoon (1995) predicted that as distributed enterprise networks mature, future organizational work patterns will ensure that workers from various areas will cooperate based on mutual trust and form virtual organizations.
