Automatic Rediscovery and Remodeling of Logistic Process in E-Business Logistic Management

Abstract

In e-business logistic management logistics collaboration becomes more and more important. E-Business Logistic management system as an open electronic platform can realize logistics collaboration and supports the operation of logistic. Exact logistic process can ensure the normal running of the system. With the constantly change of logistic environment, logistic process models don't keep stable. The large mount of logistic process logs are saved in system. These logs involve information of various logistic processes. This paper researches an automatic rediscovery and remodeling method based on these logs. The core of the method is process rediscovery rules and remodeling algorithm. In this method a markov transition matrix is set up based on process logs. And according to the matrix the eight rediscovery rules of process logical relations are designed. The remodeling algorithm can not only automatically remodel the various logistic business processes, but also greatly enhance the process modeling efficiency.
