Description
Summary:The business need to be structured as an integrated supply chain pushes companies to make use of a greater level of co-operation and coordination. As a means of coordination, negotiation has been chosen in this work. The object of this paper is to present formalism for negotiation in dynamic planning of a supply chain with the objective of maximizing the overall profit of each partner. To model the SC, we use the multi agent approach. Each enterprise is represented by its negotiator agent. The negotiations are formalized using UML language. The proposed negotiation process allows agents to develop a feasible production schedule.
