Agent Based Modeling And Simulation Framework For Supply Chain Risk Management, Tiffany J. Harper
Agent Based Modeling And Simulation Framework For Supply Chain Risk Management, Tiffany J. Harper
Theses and Dissertations
This research develops a flexible agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) framework for supply chain risk management with significant enhancements to standard ABMS methods and supply chain risk modeling. Our framework starts with the use of software agents to gather and process input data for use in our simulation model. For our simulation model, we extend an existing mathematical framework for discrete event simulation (DES) to ABMS and then implement the concepts of variable resolution modeling from the DES domain to ABMS and provide further guidelines for aggregation and disaggregation of supply chain models. Existing supply chain risk management research focuses …
