Collaborative Mechanism of Manufacturing Enterprise Supply Chain Based on Multi-Agent

To simulate, optimize, monitor and control the operation of supply chain by means of agent and multi-agent system has become an important method to study supply chain. In the multi-agent supply chain system of manufacturing enterprise, purchasing agent of manufacturing enterprise should negotiate with the supply agent for price, quality, delivery time and supplying quota etc. This paper presents a model for multi-object negotiation of multi-agent system. And the negotiation strategy between purchasing agent and multiple supply agents are also discussed. This model can optimize supply chain of manufacturing enterprise. Application of the negotiating model and strategies in the supply chain of manufacturing based on multi-agent, the competing type of win-lose is replaced by win-win. And so manufacturing enterprise and its suppliers may share profit and achieve joint gains.
