Towards the creation of transparency in the Supply Chain and the Process Synchronisation

For every improvement, the material and information flow models of an organisation are essential to provide a common understanding for the interorganisational Supply Chain. The transparency gained from the models provides the prerequisite to overcome the local optimum and optimise the complete Value Chain. ADOlog, which is based on Best Practices developed by the Supply Chain Council, supports the development of Process Architectures for all Supply Chain partners using standard processes and KPI’s from the SCOR model. Individual adjustments to processes or indicators are mapped in the tool and can be published for all involved
stakeholders.

ADOlog offers an intuitive modelling language to comprehensively document Supply Chain processes. Different publication formats are available to communicate the resulting production and logistics workflows with their respective resources. Quality management manuals can be produced and even control parameters for 3rd party logistics systems can be derived from KPI’s.
