Abstract
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.
