Abstract
The high level of complexity of supply chains and the inherent risks
that exist in both the demand and supply of resources – especially
in economic downturns – are recognized as major limiting factors
in achieving high levels of supply chain performance. The use of
modern information technology (IT) decision support systems is fast
becoming an indispensable tool for designing and managing complex
supply chain systems today. This paper develops a framework for the
design of a multi-agent based decision support system for the management
disruptions and mitigation of risks in manufacturing supplychains.
