Abstract

The aim of the presented work is to contribute to the field of the supply chain design that spans multiple organizations. It is based on a methodological approach that outlines two main results: a conceptual model and an operational one. These two models take into account the different characteristics and mechanisms of the supply chain. The conceptual level is based on four views: product, organizational, functional and informational. At this level, a meta-model that contains the basic generic concepts of the supply chain is proposed. The operational level uses the agent paradigm to model the different actors of the supply chain and the relationships between them. According to the characteristics of supply chains, a negotiation protocol between the different agents is presented. Simulations prove that the presented negotiation protocol can increase the efficiency and successful cooperation ratio for supply chain negotiation.
