Analysis and Modeling of Operation Mode of Supply Chain--Research Based on CAS Paradigm
供应链的系统运作模式分析与建模--基于复杂自适应系统范式的研究

The conventional methods could not reasonably handle complex problem occurred in supply chain management because of the change of its operation environment. In this paper, complex adaptive system paradigm is used to interpret and analyze the operation mode of supply chain. Under the idea of "adaptation build complexity", a conceptual framework is developed to indicate supply chain as one CAS firstly. Based on the model, some supply chain guiding principles are proposed. At last, a multi-agent simulation model based on SFI's intelligent simulation platform-SWARM is introduced. The result shows the method could better describe and analyze the essence of the appearance, innovation, adaptation, learning behaviors of supply chain.
