Graphical modelling of the physical-organization view for the collaborative planning process*

Resumen

One of the core processes in Supply Network Management is Collaborative Planning (CP). The importance of this process justifies its modelling. Although CP is fundamentally a decisional process, a complete representation of the CP needs five views: physical, organization, decision, information and function views. The main objective of this paper is to guide the users during the modelling of the physical-organization view by providing the relevant aspects to be modelled, their corresponding modelling elements and the definition of the deployment structure of the physicalorganization view that facilitates its understanding and integration. The resulting physicalorganization model can be used as a foundation for developing decision making tools that consider these physical and organization aspects. Keywords: process modelling, physical view, organization view, supply chain, collaborative network
