An Ontology Based Approach to Organize Supplier and Transportation Provider Selection Negotiation in Multi-agent System Model

A survey on supply chain ontologies

“…Although in the field of Supply Chain there is not much research work on ontologies, as it comparatively happens in medicine, biology, telecommunications, etc., yet, there are some notable works, the study of which led to important conclusions. In particular, many scholars attempted the creation, extension and integration of ontologies into already existing models and many individual ontologies have been adapted to the field of Supply Chain Management and, particularly, in the field of Supply Chain planning (Chandra and Tumanyan, 2007), in the area of production, design, product manufacturing and product lifecycle management (Obitko and Marík, 2002;Huang et al, 2005;Lemaignan et al, 2006;Lin and Harding, 2007;Hepp, 2008;Bruno et al, 2015) or storage planning (Weber et al, 2019), in the sector of negotiations in the global manufacturing (Jiao et al, 2006) or in the area of suppliers and transport providers (Achatbi et al, 2018), in e-commerce (Tamma et al, 2005;Cao et al, 2015), in the field of transport, national or cross-border (Merdan et al, 2008;Ponanan et al, 2017;Dorofeev et al, 2020), in the domain of cooperation of 3PL companies in transport (Memon et al, 2014), in the field of Co-operative Supply System (Smirnov and Chandra, 2000), in the field of providing logistics services (Glöckner et al, 2017), in decision-making (Ha et al, 2008;Muñoz et al, 2011), for supplier selection (Yiqing et al, 2009), for waste treatment (Muñoz et al, 2013) or for emergency logistics distribution cases (Zhang, 2013), in the field of product tracking (Vikram et al, 2003), of delivery service management in logistics (Sivamani et al, 2014), of monitoring business partners in a supply network (Yu-Liang, 2010), in the field of e-business, e-commerce and e-logistics in general (Haugen and McCarthy, 2000;Ontoweb Ontology-Based Information, 2002;Foxvog and Bussler, 2005;…”

Suppliers Selection Ontology for Viable Digital Supply Chain Performance

“…In this context, some ontological models aimed at addressing suppliers' selection criteria have been developed. On the one side, [18,19] suggest an ontology-based negotiating decision protocol to support the suppliers' selection. Reference [15] established a Supplier Segmentation Ontology based on knowledge derived from the literature on behavioral operations in the supply chain from 1934 to 2013.…”
