Ontology-based Supply Chain configuration

Zdravković, M., Trajanović, M.

ICPE 2011

ConceptsConcepts are related to other concepts

Concepts are combined into propositions

Propositions are clustered into mental models

… when concepts are specified, what we get is…

Ontology

Concepts∃s (student(s)), p (person(p)), c (computer(c)),...∃ ∃

Propositions (statements)∀s (student(s)) => person(s)

∃s f (student(s) ∃ ∧ facebook(f) ∧ knowsHowToUse(s,f))

∃s i (student(s) ∃ ∧ internet(i) ∧ knowsHowToUse(s,i))

∃s c (student(s) ∃ ∧ computer(c) ∧ knowsHowToUse(s,c))

Mental models (rules)∀s (student(s) ∧ facebook(f) ∧ knowsHowToUse(s,f)) ⇒

i∃ (internet(i) ∧ knowsHowToUse(s,i))

∀s (student(s) ∧ internet(i) ∧ knowsHowToUse(s,i)) ⇒ c∃ (computer(c) ∧ knowsHowToUse(s,c))

Incompatibility of business objectives

Increasing complexity and heterogeneity of systems

Isolated business functions

Supply Chain Challenges

Interoperability

Common practices

System-wise decision making

SCOR (Supply Chain Operations

Reference)• Standard approach for analysis,

design and implementation of changes required for the improvement of five core, integrated processes in supply chains: plan, source, make, deliver and return
