摘要
Multi-agent systems are the best approach for an efficient supply chain management. However, the control of each sub-system in a supply-chain is a complex optimization problem and therefore the agents have to include powerful optimization resources along with the communication capacities. This paper presents a new methodology for supply-chain management, the distributed optimization based on ant colony optimization, where the concepts of multi-agent systems and metaheuristics are merged. A simulation example, with the logistic and the distribution sub-systems of a supply-chain, shows how the distributed optimization outperforms a centralized approach.
