Abstract
Online, on-demand and real-time availability of information to all members of a manufacturing system enables them to be agile and in the best position to react quickly, efficiently, synchronously, and collectively to the changing market. This chapter proposes a design and modeling tool for Agile Supply-Demand Network (ASDN) design. The software is open source and freely available for research and commercial uses. It supports modeling, analyzing and limited optimizing of supply-demand networks. Also the network level logistics analysis that is behind the modeling tool is discussed.
