A VIRTUAL FACTORY: PERSPECTIVES AND DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS

Enterprises in transition countries are in phase of reengineering with a goal of adaptation to the world market conditions. One of the reengineering possibilities is introduction of modern cooperation forms on regional level. Besides the use of vertical and horizontal cooperations the introduction of cooperation networks i.e. Supply Chain Management has been planed recently. In this paper analysis of existing cooperation between enterprises in the County of Split and Dalmatia, regarding the type, field and intensity of cooperation, is introduced. The core competencies of analysed enterprises were defined. The network factory concept for the metal-working industry was deployed in three steps: identifying core vision of an organisation, identifying core competencies and optimisation of core competencies. At the end of the paper expectations and problems which appeared during the network factory process introduction are considered. The major problems are: working and behavior traditions, middle management, motivation and mutual confidence.
