Abstract :
Supply chain requirements and challenges in recent years have made managers to explore new methods in dealing with supply chain management problems. Methods with high flexibility which can adapt plans to real conditions help one to make a decision at the right time. In the supply chain management, distribution and allocation problems are of enormous significance and due to their applications in the cross-functional and final parts of supply chain management problems, they are in a particular position among the supply chain management problems. In this paper, the problems of logistics supply chain coordination are studied based on the multi-agent system in order to effectively process distributed large scale data. The logistics supply chain coordination based on multi-agent system increases the level of flexibility in the supply chain and enables supply chain members to be more responsive.
