Multi-agent framework for supply chain dynamics modelling with information sharing and demand forecast

Abstract

Supply chain management is struggling with a bunch of issues that appear during supply chain members coordination. Raising of supply chain complexity leads to the necessity of developing new software applications, which can be used for analysis of supply chain dynamics, storing data about it’s past and present states, predicting future behavior. This paper discusses current challenges in supply chain management and presents a model for the multi-agent framework in order to investigate supply chain dynamics.
