As a result of our industrial partners demands in our researches meant to increase the productivity by optimizing the manufacturing architectures we focused during the past years on two main axes. The first one is synchronizing process and material flow simulation. The second one is synchronizing different simulations of interconnected manufacturing systems acting like nodes in a virtual enterprise oriented network. In this paper we will focus on extending our solution by implementing a multipolar project planner integrated system able to simulate the costs evolution during the entire project for different optimizing material flow solutions.

In the 21st century, the enterprises continuous implement ICT strategies & architectures to improve manufacture, research, products quality, sales, services and costs control. All enterprises have a local area network, a virtual private network, an Intranet and Internet, servers and workstations for operations, administration and management working together for the same objective." profits. This work presents a new virtual enterprise network conceptual solution as support for virtual teams work in the PREMINV e-platform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
