Abstract

Along with the intensification of global competition and the complexity of manufacturing products, cooperation among enterprises becomes more intimately, and the range of quality control extends from internal to the external enterprises. Consequently, previous quality control methods for internal enterprise have been difficult to meet the demands of extended enterprises. To effectively realize the quality control of extended enterprises, it is necessary to research the quality control model which adapt to extended enterprise. To meet the demand of extended enterprises’ quality control, in this paper, on the basis of the fractal characteristic of quality control in extended enterprises, based on fractal method, combine with complex networks, quality control fractal network is established by constraint relationship among nodes and node. Base on quality control fractal network, quality control model is constructed by some methods to manipulate and operate node and constraint relationship. Finally, Based agent technology, the implementation method of quality control model is studied to meet the demand of quality control, and it can provide an approach to solve quality control problems for extended enterprises.
