Projekt:
Reactive control of supply chains with multi-agent systems
The main goal of this research project is to develop and provide an information system based on agent technologies for the reactive control of supply chains. The idea of using multi-agent systems is to reduce the inventory level, the throughput time and the production costs , as well as to increase the delivery reliability along the value chain. In each company agents are going to be implemented to follow lateral negotiation strategies across certain levels of the supply chain instead of the hierarchical control concepts of the producer. A better understanding of the multiple independencies and the influences among the different companies within the supply chain will be expected.
CATCHWORDS: Supply chains, multi-agent systems, control.
