MultiAgent Modelling of Cooperative Disruption Management in Supply Chains

This paper presents a cooperative disruption management in supply chains based on a multiagent approach. Our work aims to enable industrial systems, and in particular supply chains, to minimize the consequences of disruptions in their forecasted plan in order to respect client orders delivery date. To define re-planning measures proportional to a disruption importance, a set of distributed repair strategies, ranging from isolated to cooperative solving process, are defined. Agent based modelling is used to specify and operate these cooperative processes
