Abstract

The agile virtual enterprise (AVE) is a new and effective corporate organizational and production concept in the virtual economic environment; collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) is a scheme in which enterprise partners can pursue collaborative supply chains by sharing information, thus making it a forceful supplement for the concrete mechanism and principles of execution in AVE. Building on an analysis of AVE concepts, AVE-based CPFR and their relationship, and CPFR mechanisms and improved models, this study proposes the conditions needed for integration of AVE-based CPFR and potential future directions in this area
