Due to the condition of the current global environment, organizations
have to compete not only with single companies, but also with Supply Chains
(SC) or Collaborative Networks (CN). In this sense, companies that make up this
kind of organizations have to integrate their processes and must collaborate with
each other in order to be competitive. To achieve this goal, companies have to deal
with collaborative decision-making processes, which in this context are more
complex than in a single organization. Some of these collaborative networks have
a hierarchical structure, which means that each level in the structure has a different
role in the decision-making process. Enterprise Engineering through Enterprise
Architecture (EA) can be used by enterprises to facilitate the integration of all elements
and to analyse the complex hierarchical decision processes. Therefore, in
order to understand the decision-making process in a hierarchical inter enterprise
context using Enterprise Architecture concepts, this paper proposes a framework
for inter-enterprise architecture for supporting Hierarchical Decision.This research has been carried out in the framework of the project “Sistema de ayuda a la toma de decisiones ante decisiones no programadas en la planificación jerárquica de la producción (ADENPRO-PJP)” Ref.
