%0 Journal Article %A Joseph Oh and Bo-Hyun Kim and Jae-Yong Baek %D 2012 %J International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering %B World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology %I Open Science Index 63, 2012 %T Schedule Management of an Enterprise Receiving Orders Considering Dependency between Unit Tasks of a Collaborative Project %U https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1089 %V 63 %X This study suggests how an order-receiving company can avoid disclosing schedule information on unit tasks to the order-placing company when carrying out a collaborative project on the value chain in an order-oriented industry. Specifically, it suggests methods for keeping schedule information confidential, and categorizes potential situations by inter-task dependency. Lastly, an approach to select the most optimal non-disclosure method is discussed. With the methods for not disclosing work-related information suggested in the study, order-receiving companies can logically deal with political issues relating to the question of whether or not to disclose information upon the execution of a collaborative project in cooperation with an order-placing firm. Moreover, order-placing companies can monitor undistorted information, while respecting the legitimate rights of an order-receiving company. Therefore, it is fair to say that the suggestions made in this study will contribute to the smooth operation of collaborative intercompany projects. %P 687 - 691
