However, it remains a difficult matter to solve because is still a very complex and uncertain problem. We propose that using Value Analysis (VA) in the pre-selection of resources phase represents a significant improvement of the SRS process. The current literature fails to formally address the pre-selection phase and none of the resource selection models incorporate the resources value and its consequence in the complexity of the selection process. Whereby, ours developed model with VA constitutes an innovative approach towards greater sustainability in the configuration of A\/V E in the context of Industry 4.0, where a massive interconnection among enterprises is expected and consequently the increase of the selection process complexity. After the construction of a demonstrator tool for a set of the problem formulations, this paper verifies by computational results the thesis regarding the benefits of applying VA to the SRS process: VA reduces the complexity of the SRS process, even ensuring that the final system of resources achieve higher quality\/value grade.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5937\/fme2104806a","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,26]],"date-time":"2021-11-26T19:41:06Z","timestamp":1637955666000},"page":"806-816","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Value analysis as a mechanism to reduce the complexity of the selection of the resources system for Agile\/Virtual Enterprises in the context of Industry 4.0"],"prefix":"10.5937","volume":"49","author":[{"suffix":"S.","given":"Paulo","family":"\u00c1vila","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"suffix":"M.","given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Pires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3378-6866","authenticated-orcid":false,"suffix":"D.","given":"Goran","family":"Putnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"suffix":"Augusto","given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Bastos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"suffix":"Manuela","given":"Maria","family":"Cruz-Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"3964","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Putnik, G.; Ferreira, L.: Industry 4.0: Models, tools and cyber-physical systems for manufacturing, FME Transactions, Vol. 47, No. 4, pp 659-662, 2019;","DOI":"10.5937\/fmet1904659P"},{"key":"ref2","unstructured":"Drucker, P.: The emerging theory of manufacturing.
