Abstract
This paper proposes an integration test-bed system for supply chain management, which forms the foundation for the construction of a valued manufacturing chain. The test-bed especially focuses on Production and Operations Management (POM) issues within the chained firms. The characteristics of this system are 1) an enterprise integration model and architecture which represent business and information process in supply chain, 2) a hierarchical simulation system to support production management in supply chain, 3) the communication data interface between the simulation and the suppliers companies, and 4) Decision support system based on statistical methods. This paper introduces the system’s concept and architecture through an application example.
