Abstract: It is often really difficult to capture and exploit knowledge about a given supply chain, covering all types of flows and business processes. Supply chain managers have frequently to make diagnosis and need realistic representations of their supply chain. We work on a methodology that tries to help them in this way. First, a framework is designed to capture information on multiple dimensions of supply chain, from structural to operational aspects. Then, a data analysis approach is detailed and put into practice to explain the differences between current and ideal entities, so that progress actions can be identified.
