Abstract

The paper presents the application of Multiagent Based Simulation to analysis of supply chain behavior. As has been shown in the paper, agent oriented approach may be considered as a powerful conceptual framework for organization modeling and workbench for simulations of intra- and inter-organizational business processes. All of these theses have gradually been proved in the subsequent sections of the article. Firstly the agent paradigm has been presented as a toolbox for business modeling and complexity management. Then the classical model of supply chain simulation has been transformed to its agent-based version. Finally the case study presents how the agent model of the supply chain may be used in the process of bullwhip effect analysis based on the simulation experiment.
