The Architecture of an Agent Based Infrastructure for Agile Manufacturing
نویسنده
چکیده
The supply chain of a manufacturing enterprise is a world-wide network of suppliers, factories, warehouses, distribution centres and retailers through which raw materials are acquired, transformed and delivered to customers. Supply chain management is the strategic, tactical and operational level decision making that optimizes supply chain performance. The strategic level defines the supply chain network, i.e. the selection of suppliers, transportation routes, manufacturing facilities, production levels, warehouses, etc. The tactical level plans and schedules the supply chain to meet actual demand. The operational level executes plans. Tactical and operational level decision making functions are distributed across the supply chain.
