Abstract

Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) is an increasingly important methodology to support system engineering and has attained a high level of attentiveness in business simulation practices as a conceptual modelling approach. In this paper, we present our results related to the application of MBSE approaches in complex semiconductor manufacturing supply chain planning systems. We investigate System Modeling Language (SysML), Web Ontology Language (OWL) and Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) as different approaches and languages for MBSE. These approaches are surveyed and used to develop conceptual models for the simulation of the order management process inside the supply chain management. This study aims to survey and offer a number of implications for MBSE practice and seeks to stimulate and guide further research in this area.
