Title

A Framework For Cost Modeling A Supply Chain

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to create a general, framework that can express the cost data for the partners of the supply chain in similar terms. A framework that can layout the common activities identified within the firm, and the relationship of these activities between the partners of the supply chain. The framework should also be able to layout the effect of changes in activities on other partners within the supply chain. Cost information will help in making decisions about pricing, outsourcing, capital expenditures and operational efficiency. It should enable the organizations to compare directly the costs of certain activities. The framework will be able to track cost through the chain, which will improve the flexibility of the supply chain to respond to rapidly changing technology. The framework will help in developing product strategy paradigms that encompass the dynamics of the market, in particular with respect to the technology adoption lifecycle. It will be used for forecasting and decision making in product related problems. The proposed framework will have the ability to detect successful products and the driving performance measures within the supply chain that lead to this success.
