Abstract

This paper proposes a framework and a methodology for evaluating and improving the interoperability for each partner collaborating in a supply chain. The definition of this framework is based on two principles. The first one is that there are two kinds of activities in a business process: non-value-added (NVA) activities and business activities. In our work, NVA activities are those dedicated to interoperability alignment. The second principle is that process Performance Indicators (PIs) can be used to measure interoperability. The framework uses a causal performance measurement model (CPMM) to allow an understanding of how interoperability can influence the achievement of all the partners’ objectives. The methodology is based on the framework. It is aimed to provide support for managing the evolution of the supply chain towards interoperability. An application of the methodology to an industrial case study is presented.
