Abstract
Spain is the first European producer and exporter of fresh fruits and vegetables. SMEs need to join forces, through collaboration, to make a continuous innovative effort to add value to the sector and face foreign competition. A collaborative network is the way for companies to share abilities and resources, processes and technology. This paper presents the development of a logistic network model, for the fruit-and vegetable companies, based on maturity models. This approach will allow evaluating, in an objective way, the state of the companies and the network from the views of the selected maturity models, the purpose of which is to establish the level of integration and collaboration within the studied network, and to propose evolutionary improvements in the network’s collaborative processes.
