Multi-agent supply chain system architecture of cluster

In the face of highly competitive markets and continuing pressure to reduce lead time and achieve quick customer response, more enterprises today consider supply chain management to be the key area where improvements can significantly impact the bottom line, but as the R&D, manufacturing, marketing and sales become entire global affairs, the basis of competition will no longer be between individual companies and their independent supply chains but between regional industrial clusters. In this paper, the supply chain system of cluster is discussed. So an agent-based system of cluster supply chain is designed to enhance the cluster supply chain management process. Moreover, multi-agent supply chain system architecture of cluster is provided.
