Business Process Model WarsUpdate - Supply Chain / Value Chain Models

The latest addition to my list of business process models and frameworks is SAP and SAP's business solution maps. For years, SAP has provided a library of business processes as a basis for imlementation. In SAP's Enterprise Service Workplace, SAP provides graphic and drill down "solution maps" that encompass the broad range of value chain activities. While the legacy of the solution maps clearly shows the evolution from a technologically based approach (which is not a bad thing for a technical solution) the industry, cross-industry, and solution maps should not be overlooked by the business executive or analyst who just starting out.

Process models are the "standards" or banners in the escalating battle for the hearts, minds, and dollars of analysts, technologists, consultants, business process engineers, program managers, and business leaders.

Business Process Model Wars Update

In the list, which follows the graphic, I have added eTOM, the enhanced Telcom Operations Map. Similar to the APQP history, eTOM was developed as an industry specific tool but the framework has obvious applications to other industries.

Supply Chain and Value Chain Benchmark Reports and Studies Update

This is the latest revision of my supply chain and value chain benchmark report.

I have received comments that it was difficult to read the slideshow presentation I had previously included. I am re-posting the list as a spreadsheet using Google Docs. The sources of the surveys are links which are clickable and should open to their respective sites. I envision that future additions will add more benchmark reports, provide a short description for the surveys, and identify what part of the value chain / supply chain is included in the report.If you are aware of a benchmarking study or resource that should be included in this report please let me know.
