Abstract: In the dynamic production environment of supply chain, based on information sharing among enterprises of supply chain, this paper designs an expert system aided multi-agent intelligent ant colony algorithm system to solve the production scheduling optimization model. Where ant colony is constructed with multi-agent and the order decomposition structure and constraint are expressed by expert system. And then it builds a system using JESS and JADE to confirm this algorithm applied in a mass customization supply chain scheduling model

Abstract: The coordination of multi-enterprise production scheduling with partial information sharing is important in supply chain management. This paper proposes a multi-enterprise scheduling model based on ant colony algorithm. The model managed by agents and the enterprises interact with each other to evaluate the schedules, and build new schedules if any other enterprise is unsatisfied with the status quo. This process will repeat until all enterprises are satisfied with the schedules. Finally, the paper takes an example shows that the algorithm is effective and feasible.
