A process-oriented supply chain event management system with disruption repair support

The paper presents a Supply Chain Event Management System (SCEMS) that is process-oriented and provides a decision support for mitigating transport related disruptions. The paper shows that no full-featured process-oriented SCEMS exists despite the strong focus on business processes in enterprises. Also existing SCEMS do not support the search of solutions to transport related disruptions. The potentials of a process-oriented SCEMS with disruption repair support are discussed in this paper together with requirements. These requirements are used to design a SCEMS. A short evaluation shows the feasibility of the concepts.
