We analyze the problem of allocating cost savings from sharing demand information in a three-level supply chain with a manufacturer, a distributor and a retailer. To …nd a unique allocation scheme we use concepts from cooperative game theory. First, we compute analytically the expected cost incurred by the manufacturer and then use simulation to obtain expected costs for the distributor and the...

This paper presents the architecture of an agent-based system for Supply Chain Event Management. Auto-ID (= Automatic Identification), mobile and agent technologies are combined within this agentbased system called CoS.MA (Cooperative and Ubiquitous Supply-Network Monitoring Agents) in order to realize permanent tracking & tracing of resources (e.g. products, vehicles) in supply networks and to...
