KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION AND COST MANAGEMENT FOR SUPPLY CHAINS

K. Donald Tham

2008

Abstract

The intent of this research is to make a contribution to SCEM (supply chain event management) and SCM (supply chain management) systems. nowledge representation (KR) of a supply chain is modelled by the “linking” of activity-state-resource clusters that represent activities of the supply chain. A formalization of the costs of resources (i.e., resource cost units) is presented. Traditional overhead costs entities are represented as period and non-period cost resources that may be deployed consistently, unambiguously and with high traceability in Temporal-ABCTM (registered trademark of Nulogy Corporation). KR and cost management enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of SCEM and SCM systems.
