Modeling of Smart Supply Chain for Sustainability

Abstract

The advanced supply chain will transform traditional system into intelligent system to enhance work efficiency and productivity using advanced technology and modeling. Interoperability, visibility, and sustainability are critical objectives in smart supply chain. Especially, energy efficiency is a critical performance objective in sustainable supply chain. In order to address these objectives, the related data should be collected and quickly analyzed to provide a deeper and more complete understanding of the current operational status. This paper identifies requirements for smart supply chain, develops business process and information models using international standard modeling methodology, for the purpose of achieving the objectives of supply chain. These models can form a basis for new standards that enable parties in the supply chain to achieve objectives of smart supply chain. The work presented in this paper would help achieving critical objectives, interoperability, visibility, and sustainability, that will facilitate energy tracking and reporting across the supply chain between business entities of supply chain. Therefore, this enable parties in the supply chain to improve their work efficiency as referencing these models.
