Abstract: Modern competition requires quick response from the supply chain. Supply chain process reengineering is becoming more and more important. However, ways to manage and optimise supply chain processes are still a big challenge to most companies. In this research, a knowledge-based system is proposed for supply chain process modelling, reuse, and redesign. It uses grammatical modelling method to build supply chain process models. Furthermore, it can transform graphic supply chain process models to well-structured XML data based on the corresponding process definition language. Therefore, supply chain processes can be stored, searched, and evaluated in the system. Additionally, a case of a sample supply chain process is built in the system to demonstrate the operation of the system.
