Towards the ariel model development

This paper reports on the research process to develop a comprehensive business process model of a dyadic relationship in the ARIEL project. The ARIEL project is an attempt to explore the relationship between business level buyer-supplier relationship management and operation level process management. The purpose of the model is to act as a decision support tool in evaluating different ways of configuring business processes between a buyer and supplier. The methodology used for model development consists of four stages: (1) evaluation of supply chain process frameworks ; (2) development of the generic business process model and ontology model ; (3) building specific case study models ; and (4) development of the ARIEL model. While the first two stages are grounded in the work found in published literature the last two stages use empirical findings from industrial case studies. This paper outlines the research design and results of the first two stages.
