Abstract

To date, the Supply Chain Management systems offer no solutions for quality control of electrical domestic appli- ances through the traceability of components (hw or sw) information. Failures in assembled products may be de- tected at many points of the product life, therefore an early diagnosis could depend on the retrieval of all significant in- formation recorded along the Extended Supply Chain. The basic idea proposed in this work is to define a society of Autonomous Agents created to support the traceability of components information in a federated enterprises environ- ment. We discuss, as a case study, a simple supply chain for the production of electrical appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators or dishwashers whose components’ traceability is defined in terms of a kind of workflow ex- tended for quality control (EQuW: Extended Quality Work- flow).
