Some dynamic supply chain problems are instances of a class of distributed optimization problems that TAEMS and other intelligent agents were made to address. In this paper we define a sanitized version of a discrete distributed dynamic supply chain management problem and specify how TAEMS agents, equipped with new coordination mechanisms, are being used to automate and manage the supply chain.

today, many companies have multiple channels, such as sales force, direct mail / catalog, internet and broadcast channels, telephone, etc. for providing goods and services to its customers. multiple distribution channels, despite having benefits, several challenges such as the incidence of conflict, allocation of product, free ride some members have being emerged. the aim of this study was to i...

Functional relationship between supplier and buyer in an open market place leads to investigate the role of both quantifiable and non-quantifiable parameters in coordination mechanism with the aim of achieving higher performance in supply chain activities. Here, we develop a supply chain model and a new agent to analyze and simulate the players’ behavior in the network. A cooperative game theor...

According to the actual situation of the enterprise alliance of supply chain networks and considering the complexity of the various links in the supply chain of uncertain factors, it should be take a solution on decomposition strategy coordination of the supply chain system optimization and focus on the supply cost analysis facility decision on supplier selection and cost, the two a problem of ...

Some dynamic supply chain problems are instances of a class of distributed optimization problems that TÆMS and other intelligent agents were made to address. In this paper we define a discrete distributed dynamic supply chain management problem and specify how TÆMS agents, equipped with new coordination mechanisms, automate and manage the supply chain. The agents increase the level of flexibili...

In recent years, comprehensive researches have provided ample support for the supply chains in the coordinated decision-making framework. However, the issue of closed-loop supply chain coordination considering various transportation modes has not yet been addressed in the literature. In this paper, a two-echelon closed-loop supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer is investigate...
