abstract = {Digitized enterprise processes often encompass interaction with relational databases. Describing and simulating large-scale and complex processes on different abstraction levels lead to the use of tools and methods of Model-based Systems Engineering. In practice, current entity-relationship modeling approaches solely enable modeling relational database structure without simulation of database interactions at an early development stage. However, in general, it is known that early validation improves common understanding and communication in the development team and reduces the risk of design flaws. This paper presents an approach for model-based enterprise process digitization and a previously developed and now enhanced broker-based SysML Toolbox for integrating real relational databases into SysML simulations. The approach comprises status quo documentation concerning enterprise processes, development of digitized processes and required relational database structures as well as validation of digitized processes using the SysML Toolbox.}

AUTHOR={Hongxu Wang and Sylvia Melzer},
TITLE={{Simulation of Ordering Processes across different Supply Chain Tiers in the Aviation Industry}},
BOOKTITLE={2022 IEEE International Systems Conference (SysCon) (IEEE SysCon 2022)},
ADDRESS={Montreal, Canada},
YEAR={2022},
MONTH={25. April},
KEYWORDS={simulation; aircraft supply chain; aviation; federation; database system},
ABSTRACT={There is increasing concern that previous system development, characterized by the design of an isolated system with a limited number of interfaces to other systems, will be disadvantaged and have a detrimental effect on competition because recent rapid developments in the global supply chain have increased the need for digital services built on multiple interacting
systems and their communication. Platforms are one of the most widely used
services for sharing information by integrating multiple interacting
systems into a network. The current platform integrates these systems with
tight coupling to meet a new level of customer requirements.

With the rapid increase in the information traffic along the global supply
chain, many companies in the aviation industry have been confronting with
these issues of processing and storing data within and across the
enterprise. More and more companies are adopting an Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) system. Which consists of a set of fully integrated modules
to support a company's business processes that run from a single database.
Nowadays, the database structure in the ERP system is customized for each
company by external vendors. The aviation industry is characterized by a
large network and long supply chains with the few Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) and many suppliers (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3).
Individually created databases with own terms within the company make an
inter-company exchange only possible with high effort.

In this paper, we show how to model and simulate ordering processes across
different supply chain tiers in the aviation industry rapidly to validate
the use cases concerning the communication structure during a
requirements-based engineering process.}
