In each type, the study calculates how much data to communication between inter-firms and also analyzes the functions of B2B interfaces. Second, the thesis clarifies the difference between the theory frame and the center factory itself functions, and how it works in the Taiwan’s machine tool industry. And to re-builds the theory frame by the case study of the Taiwan’s Machine Tool Industries. The result presents not only the character of collaboration, but also shows the present condition of Business-to-Business application between the Taiwan’s machine tool industry and its subcontracting network. Academically, this thesis can advance the study of the relationship of collaboration and B2B interfaces.
