Selection of Efficient Production Management Strategies Using the Multi-agent Approach

This work focuses on the problem of inventory management which is an important element of the supply-chain management challenge. The goal of our research was to develop an application which supports decision making regarding optimal strategies for producing electrical machines. The multi-agent approach offers several valuable features which may be exploited for supply-chains management: problem decentralization, isolation of different kinds of sub---problems and solving them separately, as well as modeling and predicting the behavior of the particular modules and referring to the means offered by distributed intelligence.
