An Interoperable Enterprise Architecture to Support Decentralized Collaborative Planning Processes in Supply Chain Networks

  • Conference paper
Enterprise Interoperability IV

Abstract

Supply chain management, since many years, has been realated to coordinate the efforts among the supply chain nodes in order to mitigate unpredictable behaviours related to environment uncertainty. This allows to the involded nodes to achieve common goals in a efectivelly maner likewise the customers demand. Thus, by sharing accurate and actionable information, on a timely basis, the collaboration among the nodes will emerge in order to improve the decision-making process related, mainly, to the planning processes in the supply chain. Hence, from a decentralized perspective, each supply chain node will consider their own enterprise systems in order to manage and exchange the right information among them. Thereafter, aspects such us the interoperabilty of the systems are a very crytical issue to be considered, even in the modelling process and also in the implementation stage. Then, this paper, supported by the Zachman framework and by the REA standar ontology, proposes an novel interoperable enterprise architecture to support the decentralized collaborative planning and the decision-making processes in the supply chains. In addition, the proposed architecture consider a multi-agent based system approach as well as its application to a real automobile supply chain network.
