With the development of mobile network and communication technology, traditional supply chain management is gradually updating to mobile supply chain management, and multi-agent technology has been considered as a very efficient method for supply chain management in mobile environment. After considering the characteristics and limitations of mobile supply chain, and according to the requirement...

In this paper, we develop a static electric power supply chain network equilibrium model with known demands and establish the equivalence between the model and a transportation network equilibrium model with fixed demands over an appropriately constructed supernetwork. This equivalence yields a new interpretation of electric power supply chain network equilibria in path flows. We then exploit t...

Global supply chains are complex dynamical systems. Due to nonlinear dependencies between production locations, already a perturbation at one location can change the dynamic behavior of the whole supply chain. As a consequence the supply of customers in time may be at risk. In this paper we present an approach to supply chain design that maximizes the robustness of a supply chain in regard to p...

Agile Supply Chain Dynamic Alliance based on the formation and rapid disintegration of the reconstruction and adjustment. Integrity of the agile supply chain can improve the coordination mechanism between enterprises and the supply-demand relationship, provide direct market information and extensive sales channels and improve overall efficiency of enterprises. Agile Supply Chain Dynamic synergy...

Supply chain relationships between firms are increasingly important in terms of both competitiveness and developing dynamic capability to respond to rapid changes in the market. Innovation capacity both in firms and in supply chains is also integral to responding to dynamic markets and customer needs. This explorative research examines a sample of firms active in supply chain relationships in A...

In any supply chain, distribution planning of products is of great importance to managers. With effective and flexible distribution planning, mangers can increase the efficiency of time, place, and delivery utility of whole supply chain. In this paper, inventory routing problem (IRP) is applied to distribution planning of perishable products in a supply chain. The studied supply chain is compos...

Some dynamic supply chain problems are instances of a class of distributed optimization problems that intelligent agents were made to address. Agents are thus a natural enabling technology for such problems. In this paper we describe the use of TÆMS agent technologies on a sterilized dynamic supply chain management problem.
