Collaborative Workflow Management for Logistics Consortium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Logistics activities require strong information systems and computer support. This IT support requirements has expanded with the advent of ecommerce; utilizing B2B (Business to Business) and P2P (Partner to Partner) ecommerce. There has been an increasing tendency to set up consortia that represent several players in a given field collaborating with one another to form a large logistics consortium in order to form one organization to compete with larger competitors and/or extend beyond their region of operation. This paper deals with the management of collaborative workflow changes in such consortia and the adaptation of these changes to existing workflow systems. We also discuss issues of adaptation to new systems, workflow mining techniques for adaptation and a proposed prototype to capture the meta-data to implement the workflow system.
