Abstrakt: In contemporary supply chains, many autonomous enterprises are collaborating, establishing inter-organizational business processes. The dynamic characteristics of some business processes like demand management, have increased the complexity and difficulties in achieving the expected performance. The importance of business processes in supply chains highlights the role of processes modeling in achieving the required interoperability and agility. Designing efficient process models can be assisted by reusable reference models that capture the knowledge and practices of "best of breed" organizations. This paper presents the development of a business process reference model for supply chain operations, focusing on demand management. This model is able to indicate critical activities and decision points for demand variability and to monitor demand variations through intra- and inter-organizational processes in order to achieve effective decision making and operation. It incorporates insights and experiences from other well-established process reference models and case studies, transferring them to those organizations that adopt the model in order to design or redesign their supply chain business processes.
