Abstract

Global supply chains involve multiple actors and complex interactions, often spanning multiple organizations and geographic regions. However, issues such as limited process automation, coordination gaps, and concerns about data security and integrity continue to hinder collaboration in these networks. This paper addresses these challenges by presenting a metamodel to support secure and seamless collaboration in the diamond jewelry supply chain in Spain. Based on business process management standards, the metamodel improves traceability, coordination, and automation across organizational boundaries. The metamodel includes mechanisms for hash-based certification, certificate of origin, and shared traceability rules that facilitate the exchange of transparent information while maintaining data integrity. A case study focused on diamond certification from Lesotho to Spain demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of this approach. The results show improvements in process efficiency, fraud reduction, and stakeholder trust, especially in high-value and highly regulated supply chains.
