  2. Operational Definition of Value Chain Value Chain = A network of highly structured organizational processes and partners to create, produce, and deliver a product or service satisfying customer and market demands. Companies are producing a constantly changing mix of increasingly complex products, while global competition demands ever shorter cycle times and shorter product life cycles. Market conditions and requirements change every day. This results in frequent new product introductions and constant adjustment of the value proposition of all products in the portfolio. Value Chain responsiveness becomes a primary differentiator.

  4. The Pressing Need • Companies are producing a constantly changing mix of increasingly complex products, while global competition demands ever shorter cycle times and shorter product life cycles • Market conditions and requirements change every day. This results in constant adjustment of the value chains of all products in the portfolio Value chain responsiveness becomes a primary differentiator

  5. VCOR and FERA are the Key Parts of the Integrated Process and Technology Framework Two independent but reconciled process representations that facilitate the mapping of business process to core collaboration capabilities for accurate, fast and flexible implementations of the process models in a federation BPM (business process modeling): - reference models (VCOR) - benchmarking and requirements analysis - simulation and use case analysis • Business is represented by business processes defined in terms of value chain reference models • An architectural representation that allows mapping collaborative process models to components of the conceptual architecture and to required resources Conceptual Architecture: - information model - deployment framework (FERA) - integration modes

  6. Tier 1: Unified and broadly adopted, open standard business process framework for value chain management and implementation.The Value Chain Operations Reference-model (VCOR)is the cornerstone model of the Value Chain Group Supports value chain management for multiple centers of excellence Defines use cases and collaborative process patterns for FERA mapping www.value-chain.org

  7. VCOR Database Structure Macro Processes Level 1 Process Classifications Level 2 Metrics Best Practices Process Groupings Level 3 Technologies Input / Output Configurations

  8. Stage-Gate Process Structure Level 1 Phases Marco Processes Level 2 Many to One Many to One Metric Milestones Process Classifications Best Practice Many to One Many to One Level 3 Technology Deliverables Process Groupings Many to Many Many to Many Input / Output Is being added to the VCOR database schema

  9. The LNS Use case This use case will focus on improving productivity, on-time delivery, cycle times, and delivery SLA’s within a dynamic supply network The Value Chain is taken from the PD4SC project as an example of supporting LNS for a configurable product: a Gas grill

  10. Level 3 Flow in VCOR

  11. Tier 2: An architectural framework that defines principles and provides guidelines for implementing service-oriented solutions for essential value chain collaborations Enables accurate, fast and flexible implementations of in SOA environment Is the basis for new standards for SOA that drive convergence ebSOA Thanks to Collaborative Product Development Associates and ebXMLsoft for their contribution to this research.

  12. Collaborative Semantics • Business semantics • Using terminology applicable to describing process flows in practice • Has to be widely applicable (sequential transactions as well as iterative decision based flows) • Technology semantics • Complete set of instructions for run-time execution • Component functions and interfaces definition • ebSOA IM and ebSOA semantics is a FERA based standard proposal to OASIS

  13. Automating Generation of CP E2 E1 A1 A2 D1 A3 A4 E3 FERA IM in BPM Meta-schema BPM model with FERA content, context and associations process definition documents CPID, CPP, CPA, … Federation Server Solution for deployment

  14. Mapping BP Requirements to the SOI Shared Application and Business Services Standards-based Connectivity Shared Services Management and Security Service-Oriented Business and Applications as Services (ERP, CRM, Collaboration, Biz Process, Workflow Reporting, etc) Federated Enterprise (Global Business Collaboration , Cross-Domain Assertion Mapping, etc) Composite Systems (Contractual Coarse Grain elements, IMS, SOI artifact utilization, Fine Grain Services) Service-Oriented Application and Infrastructure Management (Security, SLA, Workload, CMDB, Policy Mgmt, etc) Service-Oriented Infrastructure (Server, Client, Network, Storage, Sensors, etc) Msg Service Service-Oriented Enterprise
