Abstract

The creation of Non-Hierarchical manufacturing Networks (NHN) will allow SMEs to reach innovative and agile networks. Some of the existing problems associated with collaborative processes among networked SMEs are reminded in this paper. Amongst the collaborative problems we have focused on share profits and costs problem due to the fact that it is a relevant problem to achieve collaboration in decentralised networks and it has not been satisfactory solved in NHN context. The aim of the paper is to provide a methodology for enabling SMEs to manage the share of costs and profits when decentralised and collaborative relationships are established.
