Integrating process and ontology to support supply chain modelling
Résumé
Many researchers have recognized a lack of common framework to support supply chain modelling and analysis and proposed their solutions accordingly. Majority of the approaches proposed are more concerned with building an object model of a supply chain than identifying processes which realistically describe a supply chain. Though object models provide means or building blocks necessary to model and analyse different elements of a supply chain, an absence of supply chain processes promotes a 'black box' view on the supply chain. This paper proposes an ontology model specifically developed to support supply chain process modelling and analysis. It is founded on a premise that prior identification of processes the ontology is supposed to support facilitates the ontology development and validation. This paper introduces development, validation, and application of supply chain ontology to support supply chain process modeling and analysis.
