Research On Synergy Management Mode In Supply Chain Based On Multi-agent System

In global economic integration today, the Supply chain(SC) is facing with more and more challenges and opportunities. The corporation has cognizance of supply chain management(SCM) to improve customer satisfaction is more important than to reduce cost. Achieve this goal, the key is the supply chain coordination. Only coordination can improve the supply chain's overall competitiveness and enhance the rapid reaction of the customized needs. Study on supply chain synergy management(SCSM) is of great significance in theory and practice. This thesis introduces the theory and technology of multi-agent system into SCSM. Interest is concentrated on the mechanism of coordination of task allocation between storage control and transportation plan on SCSM based on multi-agent system. The main contents of this thesis are as follows:The characteristics of SC and multi-agent theory and technology are explained. Doing a detailed comparison between the characteristics of SCSM and multi-agent systems. The possibility of combination multi-agent with SCSM is described. The architecture of SCSM based on multi-agent is also presented.The characteristics of the task allocation in SCSM are emphasized. The task allocation is implemented by means of negotiation. The protocol and the algorithms of negotiation are presented, which proves to be effective on cooperation and solving conflicts.Study on the architecture of multi-agent system and the coordination mechanisms of multi-agent system, and combining multi-agent systems with SCSM system effectively.The prototypic system of transport task allocation based on negotiation among multi-agent is developed based on JADE, which implements transport task allocation from supplier to client in the two grades of providing and delivering model.
