The Coordination and Integration of Agile Supply Chain Based on Service-oriented Technology

As the next generation Web technology, semantic Web can improve the automatic information processing capacity. By introducing supply chain ontology and integrating Web service with semantic Web, the semantic Web services realize the description and interaction of Web services on the semantic level. Proposed approach makes the supply chain implement the complex business process dynamic composition and heterogeneous enterprise application systems integration. The coordination and integration system framework of agile supply chain is established based on the proposed semantic Web services and SOA. This developed hierarchical framework has the advantages of loose coupling, cross enterprises, cross multi-platform systems, heterogeneous systems interaction and agile supply chain system reconstruction, which is a feasible and effective solution to implement the characteristics of agile supply chain, including agility, virtualization and reconstruction.
