Simulation Modelling of Multi-Agent Logistics Model in AnyLogistix Environment

Abstract

This paper presents the supply chain as a complex logistics system analyzed in the AnyLogistix environment, which includes production centers, warehouses, distribution centers, suppliers, retailers or trade chains. Simulation modelling within scientific research, economic and social processes is presented as one method for creating an agent-based simulation model. The assigned software agents operate in the simulation context, according to a prescribed flowchart of a typical agent-based model. An analysis was made of the elements of the supply chain management system and their interaction according to the assigned agents, namely: supply acquisition agent, logistics agent, transport agent, planning agent, supply agent, dispatcher agent, etc.
