How to analyze the complex service processes is a key issue of service process management in rapidly changing environment. In this paper, a new approach to reachability analysis of service process model is proposed. The polychromatic sets (PS) theory is introduced and the PS model of service process is established. Based on PS contour matrix, the physical reachability and the time reachability are analyzed. Model simplification rules and algorithm are proposed to examine structure conflicts, and model decomposition algorithm is presented to verify physical reachability. Time consumption and deadline of activities are analyzed statically and dynamically. A case study of order service process is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.Keywords -Polychromatic sets theory, service process model, physical reachability, time reachability 978-1-4244-4870-8/09/$26.00 ©2009 IEEE

“…Therefore, process reengineering plays a noteworthy role in deploying a reverse logistics system from its existing counterpart. As a matter of fact, process reengineering has been employed in a number of studies for a variety of applications (e.g., Gao and Li, 2006). Process re-engineering (more specifically for reverse logistics systems in this paper) involves designing a new process by integrating technology to knowledge.…”

Reverse logistics has gained increasing attention in recent years as a channel for companies to achieve operational excellence. The process involves manipulation of returned materials, or even products, which forms a pivotal role in sustainable development throughout the whole supply chains. To make reverse logistics possible, process re-engineering may need to be carried out. However, the processes involved in reengineering are practically complicated. Objectives, benefits, and applicability of any process re-engineering require a careful and detailed strategic planning. This paper aims to propose an easy-to-follow step-by-step framework for practitioners to perform process re-engineering, to learn and identify the critical issues in each step, and to be successful in applying process re-engineering in order to enhance reverse logistics performance. A learner-centred approach is adopted based on a case study of process re-engineering, which is demonstrated in the paper for explanation.

Based on the concept of polychromatic sets (PS), the basic mathematic expression of PS is introduced. According to the entity of PS, PS is classified into two types: disjunctive PS and conjunctive PS. The isolated operation of PS is studied thoroughly and the corresponding problems are analyzed elaborately. Together with manufacturing process system, the information model of conjunctive PS is established, and the machining capacity of local manufacturing resources is evaluated using PS isolated operation. Aiming at the special manufacturing process requirement, the manufacturing resources are allocated optimally. The research results show that the PS isolated operation has stronger modeling and simulating ability in analyzing and synthesizing of complex system.
