Modeling and simualtion for supply chain business integration

This paper proposes a methodology of modeling and simulation for supply chain business system. Supply chain systems require collaboration with the chain member companies. The well-organized communication should be performed within the chain in order for the chain members to synchronize daily operations and to utilize common resource. First, this paper describes a case study for process specifications of supply chain system. Second, it gives generic information process models, which represent process synchronization and data communication among chain member companies. And, it proposes which represent proposes a methodology for business system simulation of supply chain.
