Module-based quality system functionality evaluation in production logistics
Abstract: This paper addresses
a comprehensive modeling and functionality evaluation of a module-based quality
system in production logistics at the highest domain abstract level of business
processes.
Design/methodology/approach: All domain quality business processes and
quality data transactions are modeled using BPMN and UML tools and standards at
the business process and data modeling. A modular web-based prototype is
developed to evaluate the models addressing the quality information system
functionality requirements and modularity in production logistics through data
scenarios and data queries.
Findings: Using the object-oriented technique in design at the highest
domain level, the proposed models are subject further development in the lower
levels for the implementing case. The models are specifically able to
manipulate all quality operations including remedy and control in a lot-based
make-to-order production logistics system as an individual module.
Practical implications: Due to the specification of system as domain
design structure, all proposed BPMs, data models, and the actual database
prototype are seen referential if not a solution as a practical “to-be” quality
business process re-engineering template.
Originality/value: this paper sets out to provide an explanatory approach
using different practical technique at modeling steps as well as the prototype
implementation.
