An agent-based infrastructure for assessing the performance of planning approaches for semiconductor supply chains

作者:

Highlights:

• Large-scale, distributed planning problems arise in semiconductor supply chains.

• An experimental infrastructure for performance assessment is proposed.

• It is based on software agents hybridized with cloud computing techniques.

• Discrete-event simulation is applied to cover the dynamics and the uncertainty.

• The benefit of the experimental environment is demonstrated by examples.
