Agent Based Approach for Modeling Disturbances in Supply Chain
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present the agent based approach for modeling disturbances in supply chain. An introduction to the issue of Agent-Based Modeling is provided. The paper describes in detail the modeled area of a supply chain, taking into account different modeling techniques. Disturbances (selected and highlighted by the authors) are identified and modeling methods are discussed. Two selected disturbances are modeled using of agent-based approach. The research highlights of the performed works are as follows: identifying disturbances in a supply chain, which can be modeled with use of the ABS approach and demonstrating how to model the chosen disturbances by using the above method of modeling.
