商業環境不斷地快速變遷，有愈來愈多的企業開始進行「企業間系統整合（B2B Integration）」。企業之間透過如電子資料交換的工具、系統的建置進行電子形式的交易、協同合作…等以便降低成本、提升效率。 根據台灣經濟部工業局的調查，台灣電子電機及其上下游產業產值及其出口值約佔台灣產業總產值及出口值的50%以上（中小企業白皮書，經濟部工作局）。在此產業中有76％的製造廠商是屬於中小企業，24％的製造廠商是屬於大型企業，在中小企業人力少、資訊能力較為不足的情況下，領導廠商（以下簡稱為一線廠）如何有效率的整合中小企業供應商（以下簡稱為二線廠），提昇供應鏈的效率就成為一個關鍵的議題。 目前二線廠大多都使用間接的方式與一線廠進行進行整合（如：一線廠的Turnkey系統），但由於各個一線廠的平台、連線方式、操作介面都不同使得二線廠在整合時造成許多困難（如：資料映射、資料重覆客製…等），無形之間也對一、二線的整合造成阻礙，但二線廠若獨自與一線廠進行系統整合，昂貴的系統整合相關建置費用（如：B2B 伺服器）也讓二線廠難以投資以進行整合。 為解決上述困難，本研究提出以電子中樞(Electronic Hub)做為整合二線廠的媒介。本研究期望透過電子中樞降低二線廠電子化進入障礙，讓二線廠能和一線廠進行電子化整合，進而進行簡單的電子化活動（如：訂單管理），最終創造一線廠、二線廠雙贏的局面。 為了能有效的建置電子中樞，本研究提出了「二線廠需求分析主流程」做為建置與管理電子中樞的依據，並利用服務導向架構（Service-Oriented Architecture）技術提出二線廠電子中樞架構。 As the business environment change quickly, in order to reduce the cost and increase the supply chain efficiency, many enterprises have utilized B2Bi tools such as EDI or EAI System to implement Business to Business Integration. According to Industrial development bureau ministry of economic affair’s survey, Taiwan Electronics industry’s output value is over 50% of total value of Taiwan output value. There are 76% SME (Small and medium Enterprise) and 24% Large Enterprise in Electronics industry. Many SMEs are lack of manpower, fund and information technology knowledge, so there is a key issue of how to integrate effectively large enterprise (we call it 1st tier trading partner) and SMEs (we call it 2nd tier trading partner). For 2nd tier trading partners, it’s hard to setup an expensive EAI or B2B Server to integrate with their 1st tier trading partners, so many 2nd tier trading partners today are using portal or Turnkey system that provided by each 1st trading partner to perform integration, however, because of the heterogeneity of those systems, 2nd tier trading partners have to do additionally effort such as data mapping, data customization to integrate with 1st tier trading partners. This research proposed an Electronic Hub architecture, called 2nd tier trading partner hub (T2 Hub) as a integration medium for 2nd tier trading partners, however, to conduct T2 Hub architecture has to consider many 2nd tier partner’s requirements, it’s vary difficual to customize each requirement into hub’s functions, so the main objective of this paper is to propose a design methodology that can effectively conduct T2 Hub, we also proposed the T2 Hub architecture by using Service-Oriented Architecture.
