ABSTRACT

The paper describes the production planning model of the whole supply chain and the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) pilot implementation in the experience of Aprilia, the famous Italian motorcycle firm.

The management model is based on a master production plan with increasing details and on a capacity requirements planning of the critical suppliers. An innovative ICT solution, based on open source WEB technology, is presented.

Finally the application of the methodology for pilot Chinese companies is discussed: this test is carried out within the European Asi@ITC Programme, which aims at the technology transfer between Europe and Asia.
