供应链管理的多代理体系结构
Multi-agents architecture for supply chain management
摘要：
本文的目的是为供应链管理提供一种新的方法。该方法是基于虚拟企业模式和多代理概念的使用。每个实体（如企业）都是自主的，必须执行与其环境相关的本地和全球目标。我们的方法的基本组成部分是一个虚拟企业节点（VEN）。供应链被视为一组层次（对应于生产水平），其中供应链（VEN）的每个合作伙伴与几个客户和供应商有关。每个人都有一个属于自己的故事。主客户为供应链提供全局目标（数量、成本和延迟）。中介代理（MA）负责管理供应链，以尊重这些目标作为全球水平。这些目标是在层级别（NAT）上接管协商代理。这两个代理只有在扰动发生时才活动，否则信息流仅在VEN之间交换。这种架构允许供应链管理，从供应链的简单企业来看是完全透明的。多智能体系统（MAS）的使用允许决策系统的物理分布。此外，具有分散控制的层级式组织结构，在保证每个实体的自主性和整体灵活性的同时，也限制了企业的发展。
英文摘要：
The purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach for the supply chain management. This approach is based on the virtual enterprise paradigm and the used of multi-agent concept. Each entity (like enterprise) is autonomous and must perform local and global goals in relation with its environment. The base component of our approach is a Virtual Enterprise Node (VEN). The supply chain is viewed as a set of tiers (corresponding to the levels of production), in which each partner of the supply chain (VEN) is in relation with several customers and suppliers. Each VEN belongs to one tier. The main customer gives global objectives (quantity, cost and delay) to the supply chain. The Mediator Agent (MA) is in charge to manage the supply chain in order to respect those objectives as global level. Those objectives are taking over to Negotiator Agent at the tier level (NAT). These two agents are only active if a perturbation occurs; otherwise information flows are only exchange between VENs. This architecture allows supply chains management which is completely transparent seen from simple enterprise of the supply chain. The used of Multi-Agent System (MAS) allows physical distribution of the decisional system. Moreover, the hierarchical organizational structure with a decentralized control guaranties, in the same time, the autonomy of each entity and the whole flexibility.
