Abstract
This paper proposes a strategic multi layers model based on multi agents approach for supply chain system. It introduces a formulation and a solution methodology for the problem of supply chain design and modeling. In this paper we describe and analyze the relationships among main entities of a supply chain, such as suppliers, producers, and distribution centers, in the aim to design the agents and define their behavior. We also study, how these relationships can be formulated in a multi layer model. Finally, a generic multi agent model is illustrated.
