RT journal article T1 The Standardization of Supporting Tools: Advantage Competitive for Collaborative Networks A1 Otero Mateo, Manuel A1 Pastor Fernández, Andrés A1 Portela Núñez, José María A1 Viguera Cebrián, José Luis A1 Huerta Gómez de Merodio, Milagros A2 Ingeniería Mecánica y Diseño Industrial K1 Standardization K1 Collaborative Networks K1 Value Chain K1 Business Management AB Traditionally, manufacturing companies, the gateway for information technology (IT) have been implementing business management tools, tools typically enterprise resource planning (ERP) focused exclusively on internal processes manufacturing and remaining largely isolated from the rest of the elements of the value chain (suppliers, customers, etc.).
