Integrated model-based description of cause-effect relationships in intra-company supply chains

物流目标的整体检查是内部供应链的配置，规划，控制和分析的一个整体的方法。一方面，内部供应链中单个流程的物流目标之间的因果关系必须定量描述，以便发现这些目标之间的冲突。另一方面，内部供应链过程之间的依赖关系必须在内部供应链的配置、计划、控制和分析的背景下加以考虑。指出和量化内部供应链中因果关系的一种可能性是由物流模型构成的。当前研究项目的目标是在现有的以及研究和行业中建立的物流部分模型的基础上，发展内部供应链中物流因果关系的集成和基于模型的描述。物流部分模型表示孤立的模型，因为它们仅限于与物流目标相关的特定于流程的焦点。在它们目前的发展状态下，由于部分模型的关注点不同，物流部分模型之间的结合是无法实现的。物流部分模型的结合是内部供应链中物流因果关系的集成和基于模型的描述的关键因素。作为本研究项目的中心成果，将开发连接因子和连接模型，使不同的物流部分模型能够连接。将发展基于模型的物流因果关系描述，目的是将内部供应链中不同流程的物流目标的不同和部分冲突的系统互连起来。根据对物流因果关系的基于模型的描述，公司将能够确定规划和控制决策的影响、单一过程的物流潜力以及与内部供应链的物流目标有关的结构变化的后果。

The holistic examination of logistical objectives is an integral approach of the configuration, planning, control and analysis of internal supply chains. On the one hand cause-effect relationships between logistic objectives of single processes in an internal supply chain have to be quantitatively described, in order to uncover conflicts between these objectives. On the other hand dependencies between processes of an internal supply chain have to be considered in the context of the configuration, planning, control and analysis of internal supply chains.One possibility to indicate and quantify cause-effect relationships in internal supply chains is constituted by logistical models. Goal of the present research project is the development of an integrated and model-based description of logistical cause-effect relationships in internal supply chains, which is based on existing as well as in research and industry well-established logistical partial models. The logistical partial models represent isolated models, because they are limited to a process-specific focus with regard to the logistical objectives. In their current developmental state a conjunction between logistical partial models is not realizable since the focuses of the partial models differ. The conjunction of logistical partial models is a critical element for an integrated and model-based description of logistical cause-effect relationships in internal supply chains. As the central result of the present research project conjunction factors and conjunction models will be developed, which allow the conjunction of different logistical partial models.The model-based description of logistical cause-effect relationships will be developed with the aim to interconnect differing and in part conflictive systems of logistical objectives of different processes in an internal supply chain. Based on model-based descriptions of logistical cause-effect relationships companies will be enabled to identify influences of planning and controlling decisions, logistical potentials of single processes as well as consequences of structural changes relating to logistical objectives of internal supply chains.
