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.

Slide 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
Slide 5
VCOR and FERA are the Key Parts of the Integrated Process and Technology Framework
BPM (business process modeling):- reference models (VCOR)
- benchmarking and requirements analysis- simulation and use case analysis
Conceptual Architecture:- information model
- deployment framework (FERA)- integration modes
• 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
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
Slide 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

The LNS Use caseThis 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

ebSOA
Is the basis for new standards for SOA that drive convergence
Thanks to Collaborative Product Development Associates and ebXMLsoft for their contribution to this research.
Slide 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
