Cross Industry Scheduling Supply Chain

The project is to revise the function of the current Cross Industry Scheduling Process which was published by UN/CEFACT in 2008. The purpose of the project is to maintain the scheduling supply chain (Cross Industry Demand Forecast and Cross Industry Supply Instruction) for adapting the recent-day business practice in the world.

Scope of the project is to exchange information from one party to another party for the scheduling supply chain management. 
Messages used in the scheduling supply chain management are to be specified for the demand forecast, the inventory forecast, the order and the order response, delivery instruction, dispatch advice and invoice. Messages can be used by any organizations involved in the scheduling supply chain, including SMEs.

The project deliverables include:  
a.	A Business Requirements Specification (BRS) document containing Business Process Models covering electronic business processes 
b.	A Requirements Specification Mapping (RSM) document describing the message structures (as class diagrams) for the business transactions 
c.	XML Schemas to implement the message structures for the business transactions
