The Application of Multi-Agent Technology in the ASCM Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

The development of internet promotes the Agent technology. It makes Agent technology become a powerful tool that breaks the bottlenecks of the supply chain management skills. With the guidance of systems engineering and methods of thinking, using Agent technology of artificial intelligence, we study on the supply chain management systems to build a model for applications. The results indicate that the application of Multi-Agent skill in the ASCM model is a feasible way of thinking and approaches.
