Research On The Competition And Evolution Of Supply Chain Based On Multi-agent Simulation

As the supply chain management is much more important in modern society,the exploration of supply chain system has become a hot topic in academic research.The supply chain is a network structure consisting of a large number of node enterprises and consumers,which is a complex system of logistics,capital flow and information flow.Generally speaking,the supply chain system has a very obvious competition phenomenon.There are competitors who offer similar products,and also have the leader who takes advantage of channel innovation.The individuals with competitive advantages will survive in the market,and those who are not good will be eliminated by the market.This phenomenon will promote the supply chain system to evolve continuously over time.The study of supply chain evolution under the competitive environment is of great practical significance for the business operators to analyze the decisionmaking of each link.The traditional mathematical analysis method is somewhat weak in solving the complex supply chain system because of the many uncertain and nonlinear variables.The supply chain is regarded as a complex multi-agent system consisting of suppliers,retailers and consumers based the complex adaptive system theory according to the literature and related research in this thesis.The interaction rules and game behaviors of each agent are studied respectively,so as to find out what changes will happen to the strategy of agent when there is fierce competition in the system environment.This paper defines the interaction rules of each agent to build the whole multi-agent model from bottom to top and starts from the microscopic perspective to study the macroscopic phenomena.There are six chapters in this paper.The first chapter mainly explains the background and significance of the topic,and points out the purpose and significance of the study.The second chapter mainly expounds the theoretical basis of this article,which lays a solid foundation for the main content of the paper.The third chapter introduces the design of the competition and evolution model of supply chain,and defines the interaction rules of various agents.The fourth chapter is to use NetLogo to implement the model framework.The fifth chapter analyzes different experimental schemes and further studies the influence of different degree factors on the experimental results.The sixth chapter is a summary and prospect,which explains the innovative points and shortcomings of this article.
