Design of Collaborative System Framework for Cluster Supply Chain

In recent years, much research has been devoted to a limited tier in single supply chain, which only takes into account vertical collaboration and ignore the cross-chain horizontal one. This paper, based on cluster supply chain, provides a novel collaborative system framework and approach to design cluster supply chain information system with across-chain horizontal collaboration. According to requirement analysis, an advanced, reasonable and practical preliminary information system framework has been constructed to simulate the operation process. In summary, this paper can shed light on future research in development of supply chain infomationization.
