Real-time supply chain control via multi-agent adjustable autonomy

Exploiting Mobile Technology for Achieving Supply Chain Integration in Indian Retail

“…For effective supply chain performance and coordination, the supply chain information sharing with customers and suppliers is being done through mobile phones in India, and it accordingly affects the design variable also. The effective control and coordination in the supply chain processes affects the supply chain performance (Holweg & Pil, 2008;H. C. Lau et al, 2008), and mobile technologies are being harnessed for supply chain integration in India.…”

“…Researchers have attributed effective supply chain performance to stability in managing supply chain relationships (Yang, Wang, Wong, & Lai, 2008) to effectively controlling the supply chain processes (H. C. Lau, Agussurja, & Thangarajoo, 2008), to effective coordination (Holweg & Pil, 2008), and to coordinating product development strategies with suppliers and vendors (Wang, Chang, & Wang, 2009), managing long-term supplier relationships (Zelbst, Green, Sower, & Reyes, 2009), and use of supply chain relationships for competitive advantage (Klein, Rai, & Straub, 2007). Research posits that supply chain strategy can improve competitive advantage of the organizations and may be used to assess the business unit's supply chain performance (Ross, Venkataramanan, & Erstberger, 1998).…”

Agent-based simulation of competitive and collaborative mechanisms for mobile service chains

“…Model (20) is selected to test and demonstrate the reliability and convergence capability of the presented algorithm. This model is a simple case of Model (1).…”

“…In the collaboration mode, all parties share one inventory and make decisions altogether. This simulation approach not only describes the dynamic behaviors but also allows real-time, decentralized, interactive, and collaborative decisions [20]. We use the agent-based simulation to represent the communication among entities in the service chain.…”

Proposta de um modelo de simulação baseado em lógica Fuzzy e no SCOR para predizer o desempenho da empresa-foco em cadeias de suprimentos

“…Alguns trabalhos (DONG et al, 2007;AGUSSURJA;THANGARAJOO, 2008) mencionam a utilização da lógica fuzzy na simulação de cadeias de suprimentos; no entanto, nenhuma referência foi encontrada nas bases de dados internacionais que envolvessem os temas "supply chain measurement ou performance", "modelling" e "simulation".…”
