Abstract :
Business process reengineering (BPR) of supply chain is a most important approach to improve the supply chain competency. Modeling and analysis of the business process performance is both the base of BRP and a hot spot of process reengineering in the last few years. Petri net becomes a popular business process modeling tool as it has both graphic description languages for model and strict mathematical definitions. This paper firstly describes the definition of generalized stochastic Petri net and the performance analysis process of 4PL with it, and then a practical calculation is presented to show the practicality and effectiveness of this methodology.
