Research on the Application of Mobile Agent in Supply Chain Management System

The introduction of mobile agent to supply chain will strengthen information transmission speed and sharing degree of each links of supply chain network, and then enhance the agility of supply chain and the quick response ability, reduce the bullwhip effect. The supply chain management system model based on mobile agent is presented and several key issues of system realization are discussed.
