CO-DESNET - Establishing the European Virtual Institute on Collaborative Demand & Supply Networks

CODESNET means COllaborative DEmand and Supply NETworks.
 
Industrial issue: strengthening the organisational structure of Enterprises Networks (also said CODESNET), due or growing, like Industrial Clusters or Supply Chain typically composed by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in order to promote the coordination of services useful for the entire network.
 
The industrial goal is reducing costs of services used by the SMEs, through the collaborative networking of them. The immediate result is the stabilization each SME’s market share.
 
Requirements from the industrial landscape:
 
a) Industrial policy: addressing funding to new and innovative networks of enterprises.
b) Tools for Network Re-Engineering (NRE) to be used by a Cluster Committee in order to perform an effective reorganization of the networking services.
c) Consulting on NRE , certified, in order to support the Cluster Committees.
 
CO-DESNET project objectives: keeping in contact research centres and enterprises, promoting the collaboration among them, by disseminating methods and procedures of NRE as well as existing software tools.
 
CO-DESNET actions and tools of coordination:
1.  Actions:

I.  Organising a group of international experts in design and managing networks of enterprises.
II.  Dissemination of research and industrial experience results on enterprises network trough the CO-DESNET web portal.
III.  Organisation of meetings, conferences, special session and special issue on technical reviews, concerning developments in enterprises networks design and management issues. 

2.  Tools: Web Portal , acting like a “dedicated information system”, containing:

a)  a set of design and management procedures for networking services devoted to SMEs and provided by a network management board;
b)  a benchmark of cases study on existing clusters as well as sector study, collected and standardized;
c)   information and news about funding programs supporting the technological innovation and the re-engineering of enterprises networks;
d)  some ‘gates’ connecting to other European projects or institutes, like the Fraunhofer.
