Abstract
It has been well known that customer' needs have much influence on the structure of supply chains. Uncertainty in customer demands forces companies' supply chains to be very flexible. When a company can not meet customers' changing needs, competitiveness in market places will be jeopardized. To survive in the competitive market places, structure of supply chains should be reconfigurable. In this paper, fractal concept is adopted to handle the reconfigurable issue. In a fractal-based SCM, structure of supply chains can be automatically reconfigured through the dynamic restructuring process with a fractal goal model. Goal in the system is divided into sub-goals, which are represented by a fractal goal model. The fractal goal model is a formal model which can be evaluated, changed, and scaled easily. Thus a well-designed fractal goal model is indispensable for a fractal-based SCM, and enhances the reconfigurability. Fractal structure for reconfigurable SCM is designed and presented. Fractal goal model is applied to SCM and an exemplary case is also briefly illustrated.
