Research on Collaborative Processes in Non Hierarchical Manufacturing Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collaborative networks research has increased over the last years due to the advantages experienced by the enterprises that establish collaboration. In this paper, a set of relevant collaborative processes are identified in the literature and analysed considering their specific application in non-hierarchical manufacturing networks (NHN). Besides, collaboration within networked partners is enhanced through designing a roadmap to deal with the migration path towards collaborative processes establishment. Currently, the research aim is focused on modelling the network and the collaborative processes, established within the partners, through a mathematical model that identifies the collaboration objects. In this context, experts will be able to promote the establishment of collaboration, analyse the processes performed within a network and consider their redesign/design towards collaboration. The model would identify the objects of collaboration, in order to be analysed and thus serve as a tool to improve the enterprises’ performance and, consequently, the network performance.

متن کاملA Roadmap Focused on SMEs Decided to Participate in Collaborative Non-Hierarchical Networks
The importance of collaboration has increased in supply networks; thus, the number of so called non-hierarchical manufacturing networks (NHN) has also increased. A roadmap to help SMEs to participate and create collaborative non-hierarchical networks is developed. Specifically, the methodology carried out in the NHNmap is described along the paper.

متن کاملTrust categories and their impacts on information exchange processes in vertical collaborative networked organisations
Whereas Small and Medium Enterprises can answer the different business challenges through cooperation within Collaborative Networked Organisations (CNOs), human aspects constitute a fundamental issue in these networks since it is neither organisations nor information systems but people that cooperate. This paper addresses the major human aspect considered in vertical CNOs, namely trust that can...
