In recent years, logistics has become a performance criterion for the organizations success. Supply Chain study is adopted more and more for the companies' competitiveness development. Our industrial partner EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) handles a logistic flows demonstrator for crisis management, developed by our research team. Indeed, in previous works we proposed an approach, based on interactive autonomous entities. A Multi-Agent architecture is then planned to design a distributed supply chain through interactive software agents. In this paper, we focus on the disturbed mode of the supply chain so we propose to adopt an advanced interaction form between the autonomous entities. Therefore, we propose a new form of negotiation to avoid, in a crisis situation, the stock-out by balancing the resources provisions throughout the system. Simulation results prove the pertinence of the proposed solution.
