Claims:WE CLAIM
1. A method for orchestration of supply chain processes, the method comprising:
obtaining, by an orchestration system, Internet of Things (IOT) sensor data from IOT sensors, wherein the IOT sensors monitor a plurality of supply chain processes;
determining, by the orchestration system, a process event corresponding to a supply chain process of the plurality of supply chain processes by analyzing the IOT sensor data and process impact data;
identifying, by the orchestration system, one or more process orchestrators for the process event based on a predictive model; and
executing, by the orchestration system, one or more workflows for each of the one or more process orchestrators based on pre-defined rules.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more process orchestrators comprises a supply process orchestrator, a quality process orchestrator, a fulfillment process orchestrator, a shipment process orchestrator, and an inventory process orchestrator.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the process impact data comprises real time impact data and historical impact data.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the process event comprises a quality process event, a fulfillment process event, a shipment process event, an inventory process event, a supply process event.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing, by the orchestration system, root cause analysis to identify a root cause associated with the process event.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the executing of the one or more workflows comprises performing one or more corrective actions related to occurrence of the process event, wherein the one or more corrective actions are extracted from a pre-defined database.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the performing of the one or more corrective actions comprises transmitting a notification to one or more stakeholders affected by the process event.
8. An orchestration system for orchestration of supply chain processes, the orchestration system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
obtain Internet of Things (IOT) sensor data from IOT sensors, wherein the IOT sensors monitor a plurality of supply chain processes;
determine a process event corresponding to a supply chain process of the plurality of supply chain processes by analyzing the IOT sensor data and process impact data;
identify one or more process orchestrators for the process event based on a predictive model; and
execute one or more workflows for each of the one or more process orchestrators based on pre-defined rules.
9. The orchestration system of claim 8, wherein the one or more process orchestrators comprises a supply process orchestrator, a quality process orchestrator, a fulfillment process orchestrator, a shipment process orchestrator, and an inventory process orchestrator.
10. The orchestration system of claim 8, wherein the process impact data comprises real time impact data and historical impact data.
11. The orchestration system of claim 8, wherein the process event comprises a quality process event, a fulfillment process event, a shipment process event, an inventory process event, a supply process event.
12. The orchestration system of claim 8, wherein the processor is further caused to perform root cause analysis to identify a root cause associated with the process event.
13. The orchestration system of claim 8, wherein the processor is further caused to perform one or more corrective actions related to occurrence of the process event, wherein the one or more corrective actions are extracted from a pre-defined database.
14. The orchestration system of claim 13, wherein the one or more corrective actions comprises transmitting a notification to one or more stakeholders affected by the process event.
