چکیده
Globalization of economy and increase in customer expectations in terms of cost and services have put a premium on effective supply chain re-engineering. As a result, decision support systems that can facilitate these fforts are in great demand. In this paper, we identify essential elements hat are required for modeling supply chains and embed them in a multi-agent framework. Our framework uses simulation a alysis and provides a platform for rapidly developing customized decision support tools for different supply chain problems with limited additional effort. A subset of concepts from this framework isbeing utilized byIBM for making supply chain re-engineering decisions.

متن کاملMASCF: A generic process-centered methodological framework for analysis and design of multi-agent supply chain systems
Multi-agent systems (MAS) are becoming popular for modeling complex systems such as supply chains. However, development of multi-agent systems remain quite involved and extremely time consuming. Currently, there exist no generic methodologies for modeling supply chains using multi-agent systems. In this research, we propose a generic process-centered methodological framework, Multi-Agent Supply...
