Facing the trend of internationalization, globalization, WTO and the stimulation of information network technology, the transaction modes, forms of production and the inner and inter enterprise business model of some enterprises are changed. The manufacture industry in Taiwan has developed cross-border division manufacture business model. The enterprise cooperation division model has transformed from traditional vertical integration to the implementation of horizontal division. This development contains three implied factors, which are “innovation”, “speed” and “flexibility”. And these three implied factors have become the core values of many enterprises. The enterprise’s business to business development is one of the important solution that can fulfill the need of these three factors. Apply business to business in one enterprise could save the procurement time and cost efficiently. Through e-mails’ interaction, the company can promote the service quality and satisfaction of customization. The opportunity of business to business model development is the most important factor behind the curtain that helps one enterprise upgrade and transform. The Executive Yuan has established National Information and Communications Initiative. The Industrial Development Bureau is mainly focused on the implementation of e-business. Its missions are promoting the implementation of business to business and develop production, storage, transportation and marketing model. The Industrial Development Bureau coaches enterprises on applying business to business model for the following two purposes: 1. Participated enterprises would change their business management model through this government project. They would review their “As IS Model” and transform to new “To Be Model” by the request of the project investigation committee members. Through this project, enterprises would change their organization structure and operation procedures so as to achieve the goal of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and avoid the result of computerization the operation procedures. 2. Because of this project, big enterprises would lead small enterprises through a close connected industry supply chain and network connection. This development would promote supplier enterprises’ implementation of business to business and the sharing of information. Through actual participation and project execution, I hope the implementation experience of this research would become other enterprises’ reference of applying business to business system and Supply Chain Management system. 1. In the process of information system application, the support from one enterprise’ senior managers are very important. There is no exception in this case. The senior managers of this case had shown their fully support both in their own companies and outside of their companies. 2. The supply chain of this enterprise is a key factor of this project, therefore, the support and cooperation from information department manager and staffs are even more important to this project because they are closely related to those supply chain enterprises. 3. The foundation of this case’ B2B project is ERP. Therefore, the complete establishment of ERP system, information department staffs’ knowledge of the whole procedures and the suggestions of operation side play an important role in this project, too. 4. Company A of this project has been keeping a close relationship with all its suppliers, and that has become an important fact to have a successful implementation of this project and the number of joined suppliers is the most among machine industry. 5. This project was outsourced for its system development. The execution ability, counseling experience and opinion offering also play crucial roles in the application of this project.
