Abstract
In order to test the potential of virtual enterprise (VE), organizational principles for concurrent engineering (CE) teamwork organization, an experiment applying the BM_Virtual Enterprise Architecture Reference Model (BM_VEARM) was organized. This study is described in the chapter. Three CE teams were asked to create a web site. The teams were organized as: (1) CE distributed team (virtual team according to literature); (2) CE agile team (agile organization according to BM_VEARM); and (3) CE virtual team (virtual organization according to BM_VEARM), in order to complete the required task. The principal objective of the experiment was to show that the three organization models of the CE teams work effectively and analyze the performance of each one according to previously defined criteria. This chapter presents the results of product quality so obtained. The experiment proved that better product quality, for the product quality aspects analyzed, is achieved in cases when VE organization is applied.
