Abstract:It is an important way for co production efficiency improvement and system robustness to deeply understand the relationship between the structure and function of interfirm collaborative production networks (ICPN) . This paper develops the topological model for ICPN based on the analysis of the characteristics of interfirm collaborative production modes. By introducing complex networks, a case of Polyurethane industry is simulated. The results show that ICPN has the characteristics of small world, scale free and centralities of nodes. Moreover, complex network characteristics affect the capability and efficiency of production system.
