“…Information systems and decision support systems within organizations are becoming more important to enable inter-company transactions. Additionally, facilitating decision-making through complex systems that guide decision-makers in assimilating large volumes of information, in a short time to ensure effective decision-making [32].…”

Collaboration in the freight industry has not been widely adopted mainly due to the perceived barriers in competition resulting in a lack of trust among fleet operators. Collaboration in this sector has significant benefits, including the reduction of empty running, operating costs (OPEX) and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) resulting in greater utilisation of existing logistics assets. A review of the literature to establish the critical aspects of freight collaboration was undertaken, as well as analyses of published case studies and European Union (EU)-funded projects. The critical aspects and barriers identified include: revenue sharing; compliance with competition law; process synchronization; organisational and systems interoperability; different forms of collaboration from a physical and coordination structure perspective; and strategies for collaboration. To facilitate collaboration a freight collaborative business model (FCBM) framework that highlights problematic areas in freight collaboration is proposed to support standardizing collaborative practices in the freight industry. Three published freight industry collaboration business cases were evaluated against the model. The business model framework is intended as a tool to be used to compare different business models and identify the best innovations to help facilitate collaborative practices. The freight collaboration business model was applied to the Freight Share Lab research project in order to demonstrate the concept and investigate whether efficiency can be unlocked through deployment of a dynamic data and asset sharing platform to enable route and load optimization across multiple fleets of freight vehicles, rail freight wagons and containers.

“…They present a new framework called ConnectedSpaces which consider spaces, views, information and communication resources, semantic processing and other features in order to achieve a certain level of collaboration. (Vargas et al 2016) develop a conceptual model based on inter-enterprise architecture which can be used by a collaborative network to handle unexpected events coming from hierarchical production planning. Their approach will help decision makers to better understand information about the complexity of the new events in order to make efficient decisions.…”

“…Besides, companies are looking for how to face continuous and varying changes. As a solution, synergy and collaboration between different enterprises presents an efficient way to effectively overcome these issues (Vargas et al 2016). However, some of collaboration processes are very complex due to : product information included in CAD files, variability of engineering and business processes, heterogeneous softwares, etc.…”

Conventional manufacturing systems are designed for intra-enterprise process management, and they hardly handle processes with tasks using extra-enterprise boundaries data. Besides, inter-enterprise collaboration and new IT enablers for industry 4.0 are becoming a highly topical issue to study, due to : (a) The emergence of new technologies mainly Internet of Things, big data processing and Cyber-Physical systems (b) The new customers' needs that face the SMEs. Many constraints and issues have to be taken into account before establishing Inter-enterprises collaboration, namely: The product information, the business processes and the heterogeneous data. Moreover, the exponential growth of data coming from all the enterprises causes several challenges regarding their exploitation. In this context, this study is interested in Big Data capabilities to help Small and Medium Enterprises to find out more lurking opportunities. We have focus on the combination between emergent IT technologies, mainly Big Data, and inter-interprises collaboration in order to provide an added value. The result of this study is a new approach, that could be adapted by SMEs, for new project evaluation within a network of enterprises.

“…The first paper "Inter-enterprise Architecture as a Tool to Empower Decision Making in Hierarchical Collaborative Production Planning [7]" proposes a novel idea of inter-enterprise architecture from the enterprise engineering perspective allows collaborative networks to integrate and coordinate different organizations. Therefore, inter-enterprise architecture offers multiple benefits, including: joint process harmonization, business strategy and information technology alignment, technological cost reduction, risk and redundancies reduction, customer services improvement and enhanced responsiveness.…”
