Enterprises in the agri-food sector are challenged by an increasing number of public and private requirements regarding traceability, food safety, food quality and other aspects of sustainability, which has lead to a growing number of information system development and process (re-)design activities. Decision makers need to identify sector and enterprise requirements, transfer them into interrelated production and information process models, develop decision alternatives and evaluate the achievement for the given objectives considering different possible future scenarios. An integrated modelling approach for quality management is presented, which supports decision makers to come to a well-founded decision by integrating functional, behavioural and informational supply network models using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and discrete-event simulation.
