An Intelligent Approach for Negotiating between chains in Supply Chain Management Systems
This addresses inefficiencies in supply chain negotiations for producers, but it appears incremental as it applies existing multi-agent techniques to a known domain.
The paper tackles the problem of slow and low-quality supplier selection in supply chain management by introducing a multi-agent system for automated negotiations, resulting in increased speed and improved quality in selections.
Holding commercial negotiations and selecting the best supplier in supply chain management systems are among weaknesses of producers in production process. Therefore, applying intelligent systems may have an effective role in increased speed and improved quality in the selections .This paper introduces a system which tries to trade using multi-agents systems and holding negotiations between any agents. In this system, an intelligent agent is considered for each segment of chains which it tries to send order and receive the response with attendance in negotiation medium and communication with other agents .This paper introduces how to communicate between agents, characteristics of multi-agent and standard registration medium of each agent in the environment. JADE (Java Application Development Environment) was used for implementation and simulation of agents cooperation.
