Abstract

The increasing development of the competitive market has forced organisations to make great efforts in the processes of supply, production, and distribution to meet customer demand in the shortest time and at the lowest cost. A cross-docking (CD) system is one of the successful and practical strategies in this field considered by researchers in various fields. Also, business process management plays a key role in continuous improvement and increased productivity. In today's digital age, due to the ability to record all activities, process mining is an important method to identify the current situation and improve productivity. In this research, a newly established CD belonging to a chain store is studied to improve the current situation, in which different goods enter and then exit after different processes. The purpose of this study is to obtain the optimal number of doors and loaders as sources. First, helping an RFID system, all activities are recorded, and the current situation of the processes is monitored, and then, the real process model is identified using heuristic and inductive miner algorithms. After adapting to the event log by using the simulation process in Arena software, different scenarios are examined, and the best possible case is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Demand shocks and fluctuations underscore the need for new approaches to coordinate collaboration between firms to scale up production. This paper proposes an approach to formalise product and process requirements via a collaboration ontology and applies semantic reasoning techniques for process formation. Our approach contributes to production research by providing flexibility in coordinating firms engaged in demand-driven collaboration. The proposed approach has four core dimensions: (1) The Collaboration ontology builds on a set of product assembly requirements, process steps, their input/output resources and semantic rules; (2) the ontology reasoner derives resource dependencies between the steps; (3) the java tool interprets resource dependencies as possible transitions in Business Process Management Notation (BPMN); (4) a workflow engine executes the generated product assembly process. The approach and the ontology were validated in an industrial aerospace tendering scenario demonstrating its practical relevance for firms seeking demand-driven collaborations to react to production changes. Finally, we position and explain our contributions to the body of knowledge in collaborative production engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
