Abstract

Since a few years, logistics has become a performance criterion for the organizations success. So the Supply Chain (SC) study is adopted more and more for the competitiveness of companies development. In previous works we proposed an approach, which aims to reduce an emerging phenomenon of the demand amplification, called the Bullwhip Effect. In this paper, we present a model, based on the proposed approach, for a Cooperative Negotiation for the Provision Balancing in a SC system. The studied SC is a hierarchical system dedicated to the Crisis Management. A Multi-Agent architecture is then proposed to design this distributed chain through interactive software agents. The results of simulation, presented in this paper, prove the importance of the interaction between the SC entities for the Provisions Balancing.
