Assessing supply and demand chain leagility according to Hooke´s law for a single-agent scenario

This paper supposes and presents an approach for evaluating the degree of leagility of supply and demand chains. Therefore the authors are modeling the supply and demand chain, using the cognitions and outcomes of Robert Hooke´s law of elasticity, upon the similarities between springs and supply or demand chain echelons, basically founded on the mutual ability to connect, to adapt, to smooth, and to deflate things in order to transmit something of value. The model stated for a single-agent purpose can also be used in multi-agent scenarios. Upon creating a general leagility model the relationship between echelons on the below and the interferences between distinct agents on the above level could be visualized, obtaining a better understanding of the complete supply or demand chain/value chain system.
