Abstract :
Supply Chain Management is an important issue for manufacturing enterprises. Most of these manufacturing enterprises are depending on their logistic system to improve their efficiencies. However, information distortion from the raw material suppliers to the distributors can make the whole process to enormous inefficiencies. Therefore, this research aims to propose a new method to solve the bullwhip effect by integrating multi-agent technology, artificial intelligence and Internet technology.
