Reactive Scheduling Based Multi Objectives Negotiation for Dynamic Supply Chain Model

Abstract

Trends of globalization and advances in Information Technology (IT) have created opportunity in collaborative manufacturing across national borders. Fixed supply chain optimization strategy has difficulties applying to the flexible, project based manufacturing environment characterize by the involvement of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This research proposes a three echelons dynamic supply chain model where the node being focused autonomous ly negotiates contracts with downstream client and upstream suppliers based on parameters derived from a reactive scheduling engine and a inventory management system.
