Abstract :
This paper proposes a supply chain model with multi-input/multi-output based on multi-agent. The virtual market concept is used in this model to solve the product allocation problem. Through the agent interactions in the virtual market, this supply chain model can effectively distribute the scheduled resources under dynamic environment. We further study the bidding strategy of supply/demand agent in the market under independent and dependent production, respectively. The simulation experiment shows the validity of the proposed approach.
