Has description The case study relates to the design and specification of the Celbi Pulpwood Supply Chain Information System (PSSiS) applying the Enterprise Architecture methodological approach. Accordingly, the PSSiS functional requirements emerge from the overall wood supply chain processes architecture, drawn in the course of workshop meetings with a multidisciplinary team of experts from Celbi, one of the largest Portuguese integrated pulp and paper companies.

It started with the Celbi administration commitment in the project kick-off meeting. The experts involved in each wood supply chain function were identified. The several process specification workshop meetings were conducted by an EA skilled facilitator, who applies the “Port-IT method” for drawing the current situation top-down hierarchical process architecture, starting with the context diagram, the Celbi business model and the several Pulp Wood Supply Chain process flowcharts. Current problems and improvement opportunities were described. The existing systems and data repositories were also characterized. The future process architecture incorporated current problems solutions and improvement opportunities as well as state-of-the-art models and management procedures. The PSSiS process architecture report was produced and validated. It’s results were presented to Celbi administration. The information architecture and applications architecture were produced by the EA team, based on automatic activities and its required input and output data flows. Afterwards, a technological architecture and an implementation plan were proposed. The project team includes: 1 project manager (20% allocation) 1 EA expert as technical responsible (50% allocation) 1 forest analyst (100% allocation) 1 IT analyst (100% allocation) Problem structuring The Celbi Pulpwood Supply Chain Planning problem was defined in the course of the project throughout Celbi experts’ involvement in several workshop meetings following the EA approach.
