Abstract

Tactical planning of composite services in heterogeneous logistics networks is facing two major problems. First, existing planning methods lack in concreteness as they instruct to compare different alternatives of possible composite services in order to find the best solution, but they do not state how to develop and engineer those alternatives. Second, the planning and evaluation of composite services via simulation is difficult, because services are offered and processed by different logistics service providers of the network and thus are based on different information sources and different kind of models. In this paper both issues are addressed with a comprehensive method. Engineering is supported by the service map that is an electronic catalog and construction system for services to create alternatives of process models from composite services automatically. Evaluation is assisted by an automated transformation of process models to simulation models. Information exchange between both concepts is realized with a model-driven integration approach.
