A manufacturing industry improves an existing product, or develops an innovative new product for new market. The product is devised and improved based on cost, quality, function, and technology factors. e-Business, using information technology (IT), makes the supply chain management (SCM) in Business to Business (B2B) more efficient in order to help companies develop and improve their product. Reliability problems remain, however, on a collaboration level among related companies with respect to providing consistently high levels of customer satisfaction and timely deliveries. This paper explains the construction of information infrastructure to share product attribute information among companies on the Internet. The information infrastructure creates a database for the four attributes of a product : cost, quality, function, and technology. A cross-reference between each database table enables a display of mutual product attribute information on the Web. The companies that are involved in the supply chain can share information anywhere to further develop the information infrastructure. The concept of four product attributes and their classification, database for four attributes, and application of database on a prototype were described.
