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

物流目标的整体审查是对内部供应链的配置、规划、控制和分析的一种综合方法。一方面，必须定量描述内部供应链中单个流程的物流目标之间的因果关系，以揭示这些目标之间的冲突。另一方面，在对内部供应链进行配置、计划、控制和分析时，必须考虑内部供应链过程之间的依赖关系。物流模型是表示和量化内部供应链中因果关系的一种可能性。本研究项目的目标是在现有以及研究和产业界成熟的物流部分模型的基础上，开发一个完整的、基于模型的内部供应链中物流因果关系的描述。后勤部分模型代表孤立的模型，因为它们仅限于与后勤目标有关的特定于流程的重点。在它们目前的发展状态下，由于部分模型的侧重点不同，无法实现物流部分模型之间的关联。物流部分模型的结合是对内部供应链中物流因果关系的综合描述和基于模型的描述的关键要素。作为本研究项目的中心成果，将开发关联因素和关联模型，以允许不同物流部分模型的关联；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且部分冲突的系统连接起来。基于对物流因果关系的基于模型的描述，公司将能够识别计划和控制决策的影响、单个流程的物流潜力以及与内部供应链物流目标相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.
