Data Models for Supply Chains

I created these Models after I attended a very interesting meeting organised by Sedex and the UN Global Compact (UNGC) about Supply Chain Transparency.

An Access Database is available.

We might design a Data Mart (Dimensional Model) which is very useful for providing data for Reports and Business Intelligence.

We would be glad to have your comments.

If you are new to Data Models, this page of my new Tutorial will help you understand the Data Model.

Our unique approach provides processing on a common holistic Platform with a generic Data Architecture which provides built-in Payroll and Reservations functions.
