Modelling business processes in logistics with the use of diagrams BPMN and UML

Dariusz Badura

Abstract

The paper researches the suitability and sufficiency of BPMN and UML languages in business process modelling in logistic. There were two exam- ples of process modelling: supply chain logistics and production logistics. Logistics system is modelled at the highest domain level using case study in container transport and exemplary production process to examine the both modelling languages in many aspects. Modelling is carried out in a modu- lar basis for hierarchical systems generally using BPMN 2.0 and UML 2.0. Complementary use of both modelling tools was seen necessary for busi- ness process flow and information process design. The proposed models provides many benefits for modellers, analytics and actual practitioners of logistics activities.
