Project Purpose

The current master RDM messages, derived from a RDM master message structure, cover all international supply chain operations and take into consideration all potential complexities of any industry. The deliverable also accommodates any mode of transport. The resulting deliverable is rather large and complex and can deter some companies – notably MSMEs – from being aware of the potential of RDM based solutions. By providing an easy to understand methodology for supply chain specification users will enable interoperability across the supply-chain, combining features such as end-to-end track & trace, contributing directly to the United Nations sustainable development goals and ESG monitoring. This project aims to develop a methodology to assist business process automation specialists to easily create a subset of the RDM based master messages for their own supply chain or sector specific requirements. This would tailor a master message to the target industry-specific elements and produce a message subset (and children subset) that could be used as a basis for international trade operations. It is expected that this methodology would make it easier for organizations to implement and exchange with others within a specific sector or group of trading partners.
