Abstract

  • This paper draws upon learning from the aerospace, automotive and retail sectors to provide a framework for the modelling and simulation of supply chains, the processes that occur within them and the products that flow along them. The framework allows an integrated description of products and processes in a supply chain. Such a description could be used to support analyses and simulations that take account of the supply chain and its constituent products and processes. The framework itself is based on a data model that uses a single pattern for the representation of structured data. This pattern is used three times for supply chain, process and product. The descriptive capability of the framework is demonstrated through a case study that is taken from the packaging industry.

  • The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of achieving an integrated computer-based model of supply chain, process and product. Such a model could be used to support the analysis and simulation of supply chains, processes and products, and the interactions between them.
  • In the next section a data model pattern for structured entities is presented. This pattern is used (like a C++ template or an Ada generic) to specify data models for products, processes and supply chains. These three data models are related to each other through a small number of specially defined entities to produce a data model for an integrated definition of product, process and supply chain.
  • All of the data models presented in this paper are specified using the EXPRESS-G notation [26].
