Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 91 === With the rapid change of worldwide competition environment in e-commerce age, more and more enterprises are looking for ways to link their supply chain support systems. There are a number of supply chain systeminitiatives can realize B2B integration. However, some of them may too restrictive to a predefined protocol. We want to introduce an agile integration solution —Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS), which can let the applications fluently communicate with its business partners, and cements an alliance network in dynamic way.
Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) is a framework for coordinating supply chain related activities among participating partners. These coordinating mechanisms are clearly defined steps leaning to manual processing. The utility of CPFR process will be elevated if the coordinating mechanisms can be further automated.
We propose to use one of initiative standards in Business Process Management — BPEL4WS to model the CPFR process. With a well-designed collaborative system, we demonstrate that much of the CPFR coordinating mechanisms are computerizable. The result also provided us a CPFR specification amenable to a universally accepted IT standard — Web Services.
