Abstract

Supply chains are discussed in this article. They are viewed as intelligent decentralized systems that meet the agent paradigm. Thus possibility of arising critical situations in the chains can be analyzed in the agent-based manner. The work is focused on applying an overall methodology dedicated to the discovery of crises and support of anti-crisis activities. The agent-based model is proposed that incorporates majority of features of supply chains so that the modeling of crises can be wide-ranging and easy. As an illustration some simulation results are presented.
