Adaptive Multi-agent Modeling in Intelligent Supply Chain Managemrnt

Supply chain management is now recognised as one of the best means by which enterprises can make instant improvements to their business strategies and operations. It deploys new technologies, methods, tools, and techniques to solve problems. Recently, multi-agent technology is increasingly regarded as a good solution for supply chain management. This paper attempts to apply adaptive multi-agent method to supply chain simulation, and defines the agent activities to negotiate the tradeoffs of acquiring different resources, so as to realise the multi-echelon optimisation, and some related topics are also discussed in this paper.
