Abstract :
Supply-chain modeling based on multi-agent includes four step modeling of analyzing composing of supply chain entity, establishing operation flow, designing operation processing agent and unit frame. Owing to agent has basic attribute of target, knowledge and sign, universal architecture is composed of communication, operation processing, reasoning, learning and message units. According to the members of the supply chain having the special characteristics of agent, we use the platform of multi-agent to build the supply chain simulation and give the structure of the model, the main algorithm and through experiment we can verify the feasibility of the supply chain simulation by use of multi-agent.
