A Conceptual and UML models of procurement process for simulation framework


Abdessamad Douraid, Saâd Lissane Elhaq and Hamid Ech-Cheikh

This paper presents a set of conceptual and UML models that can be used to construct a simulation framework of procurement process. Whereas the good control of this process is crucial as well it composes an interesting ratio of costs along the whole chain. For this purpose, we took into account the information and the material flows of the upstream supply chain that linking the manufacturer and its suppliers. Our contribution is to make a reusable and a modular pattern of procurement process, which is able to be configured and used for several manufacturer industries. In order to benchmark the different scenarios of each configuration and to furnish a decision aids tool, for the sake of the decision makers to obtain the right choices.

Keywords: Procurement process; Conceptual model; UML Models; Simulation framework; Decision aids tool.
