Abstract
A negotiation-based method and system for managing manufacturing execution system (MES) orders within a structure of distributed systems that include at least one ordering system and one or several executing systems ES. The method includes the steps of: a) creating an order for a service, the order having at least one negotiable requirement; b) distributing the order to one or several ES; c) evaluating the order by each ES and automatically determining whether the order is acceptable without negotiating or generating an offer for the service to launch a negotiation process wherein said OS and ES exchange offers and counteroffers until an agreement is reached or the offer refused; d) if a least one of the ES accepts the order, the OS sends a refusal to offers received from another ES; if no ES accepts the order, the OS starts a negotiation process for the negotiable requirement with each ES.
