  • Firms have reexamined and restructured their supply chain based on a long-term and partnership perspective as a firm's competitive advantage increasingly relies on its supply chain capability. A number of scholar works has provided evidence to support the positive effects of supply chain collaboration; however, the relationship between collaboration and performance is still inconclusive. This study refuses to have blinded faith on supply chain collaboration, but rather this paper suggests that the contribution of collaboration to supply chain performance improvement can be limited and vary along the contextual characteristics of a buyer-supplier relationship. Moreover, we argue that the relationship between supply chain collaboration and performance can be curvilinear. This paper provides and test hypotheses regarding the relationship between supply chain collaboration and performance. By using data of the Manufacturing Panel Survey (MPS), this study empirically validates the hypotheses. Overall, the results of the study support our hypotheses about a limited contribution of supply chain collaboration to manufacturing performance, which is opposite to a conventional expectation. Particularly, the effects of supply chain collaboration differ depending on the dimensions of performance such as customer satisfaction, quality, cost, delivery, and flexibility as well as the dependency in the buyer-supplier relationship. Moreover, the results of the study indicate that supply chain collaboration and performance may have curvilinear relationships in a certain context. Through a comprehensive model and empirical evidence, this study presents a better understanding of supply chain collaboration and provokes an open discussion about the effects of collaboration. This study also provides insightful implications for managers of buyers as well as suppliers who wish to foster stronger supply chain performance via a deep buyer-supplier relationship and collaboration.

  • Nowadays, one of the major technical issues in manufacturing is to create an environment to promote collaboration among diverse engineering activities. Collaborative engineering is an innovative approach integrating widely distributed engineering activities through promoting information sharing and actual collaboration. It requires close interactions among developers, suppliers and customers, and consideration of entire product life cycle from concept to disposal. A carefully-designed operating system is crucial for successful collaboration of many different activities in a Networked Virtual Manufacturing System(NVMS). High extensibility, flexibility and efficiency ale the key characteristics requested of an operating system to handle the complexity of the NVMSs. In this paper, we propose a model of the operating system for collaborative engineering using concurrent quasi-procedural method(QPM). QPM is a goal-driven data management technique for distributed and parallel computing environments. It is to be applied to the evaluation of activities to be executed, validities of input data, execution path of activities for a needed output, and expected to greatly improve the productivity of operations by preventing redundant evaluations. Collaboration among many different engineering activities in NVMSs is to be performed by the network of agents that encapsulate the capabilities of both users and their tools.

  • This study is about how does collaboration activities of large company's Supplier Relationship(SR) effect on manufacturing capability and performance of a SMEs. In this research, there are many ways to analyze data. The methods used in the study are hypothesis testing and empirical testing based on SPSS 21.0 and AMOS21.0, factorial analysis for validity and reliability of questionnaire item, construct validity and variance extracted as a research model, and subcontract-tiers as a moderating variable. As a result, the effect of the collaboration activities of large business did not have the significant effect on supplier's manufacturing capability. It showed different result by subcontract-tiers In first-tier cooperative, collaboration activities of large business had significant effect on manufacturing capability, but it did not have the significant effect on performance. In second/third-tier cooperative, manufacturing capability and performance are significantly affected by manufacturing practices. In conclusion, this study will suggest the direction how to achieve an accompanied growth between large enterprises and SMEs.

  • Today many corporations converge clients' needs and IT technology, and then they are developing new service model in order to survive global situation. The changes of manufacturing industry from simple manufacture to industry for focus on services is getting speeded up, because not only growth of service part but also enlargement in creating value in services is expected. And services through collaboration with knowledge based service and only manufacturing industry is important. In this situation, this thesis is willing to propose methodology for Inter-Industry Collaboration Service Model. The proposed methodology includes procedures which develops service model, plans for Inter-Industry Collaboration Service Model and evaluating framework. Also, this applied case studies. I look forward to offering useful guideline on the proposed methodology in this study to corporations that try to create new service model through Inter-Industry Collaboration Service Model.

  • To effectively maintain manufacturing collaboration, the development of effective performance measurements for the collaboration is required. Most existing key performance indicators however were developed to measure the performances of internal activities or outsourcing of a company. For that reason, it is necessary to devise new key performance indicators that the partners participating in the collaboration can arrange and compromise with each other to reflect their common goals. In this paper, we propose collaborative Key Performance Indicators(cKPIs), which is used to measure the collaboration work of multiple manufacturing partners on the basis of the Supply Chain Operations Reference(SCOR) model. Also, a modified Sigmoid function is devised as a desirability function to reflect the characteristics of Service Level Agreement(SLA) between two partners. The proposed indicators and the desirability functions can be utilized to perform and maintain the successful collaboration by providing a way to the quantitative measurement.

  • This paper presents a methodology in which the knowledge of design intents and change requests is communicated unambiguously cross collaboration partners through features. The domain of application is focused on the plastic part design for enabling effective collaboration between the product design and plastic mold making. The methodology takes the feature-based design approach and allows design features and knowledge to be reused in plastic injection mold design. It shortens the mold design lead-time, reduces mold design efforts, and enables unambiguous and fast design change management between product and mold designers. These contribute to the reduction of product development cycle time.
