Towards a dynamic assessment of raw materials criticality: linking agent-based demand--with material flow supply modelling approaches.
Emerging technologies such as information and communication-, photovoltaic- or battery technologies are expected to increase significantly the demand for scarce metals in the near future. The recently developed methods to evaluate the criticality of mineral raw materials typically provide a 'snapshot' of the criticality of a certain material at one point in time by using static indicators both ...

متن کاملMulti-agent based supply chain modelling with dynamic environment
Supply chain management (SCM) is not always concerned with optimal solutions conventionally in terms of product allocation. Virtual market based supply chain operation solves the product allocation problem by distributing the scheduled resources based on the agent interactions in the market. We formulate supply chain model as a discrete resource allocation problem under dynamic environment, and...
متن کاملRaw material ‘ criticality ’ — sense or nonsense ?
The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in the supply security of mineral raw materials. A key to the current debate is the concept of ‘criticality’. The present article reviews the criticality concept, as well as the methodologies used in its assessment, including a critical evaluation of their validity in view of classical risk theory. Furthermore, it discusses a number of risks pre...
متن کاملAgent Based Modelling in Fashion Demand Chains
Simulation tools for understanding logistics and create explanations for logistics operations are often developed under a state of stability, equilibrium and linearity whereas logistics are considered non-linear and complex. Agent based modelling provides the opportunity to build rigorous computer simulations of non-equilibrium systems and unlike other simulation methods, no agent has full know...
