Interoperability Challenges of ERP Implementation in a Collaborative Manufacturing Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper tries to address the common challenges that many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are facing: the manufacturing data integration with a collaborative manufacturing environment with low volume and high mix production orders. The research focus is on the interoperability between the existing and a new ERP system, as well as the collaboration scheme among different suppliers and partners in a supply chain model.
