The definition and management of business processes are fundamental activities for the companies that operates in the manufacturing 4.0 context. Redefining processes along the Supply Chain, in particular, is a key point for companies. These processes represent an important element to reach optimal efficiency levels through the adoption of a collaborative, cross-functional and integrated approach capable of facilitating negotiation activities among the different functions for the definition of a single operative plan. Processes reach these objectives when managed in a “orchestrated” manner, where critical resources (in terms of people, capacity, materials, time and money) are balanced and dynamically coordinated in “end-driven” scenarios, as to satisfy the needs of a continuously changing market.
