Dynamics of Multi Agent Supply Chain under the Threat of Disruption

This research deals with a dynamic hybrid modeling approach of multi agent supply chain. The integration of system dynamics (SD) and agent based modeling concept is a potential effective combination of methods in order to consider flexibility and complexity of the model. In this paper, this approach in a two-level supply chain is presented. In the proposed model, three types of disruption risks is considered, and an experiment for which the integrated simulation solution is applied are described.
