Using Multi Agent Systems in Green Supply Chain

Abstract

the Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is one the key concepts that organizations need to implement in order to reduce the environmental impact of their activities due to the increase of environmental awareness. However, its implementation is full of constraints in terms of the coordination and collaboration between all stakeholders. Therefore, many GSCM models and frameworks, like the multi agent systems (MAS) are proposed to reduce the complexity level in the Supply Chain. The main objective of this paper is to study the multi agent systems usage for GSCM modelling. The used research methodology is based on a literature review of 50 articles published between 2012 and 2019 in 10 different journals. 5 articles are selected out of 50 because of their accordance with the research subject. The contribution of this paper is to show the benefits of using multi agents systems for GSCM modelling problems.
