Abstract
Partner selection and optimization is one of key factors in building virtual enterprise, which have impact on the success of virtual enterprise. This paper analyzed the process of selecting partners and established the optimization model for partner selection. This paper applied harmony search (HS) algorithm into the optimization model, the results show that the HS algorithm has better performance than genetic algorithm. Also, sensitivity analysis of HS parameters was performed to obtain a better idea of algorithm parameter values.
