Supply Chain Disruption and Agent-Based Modeling : A Literature Review and Model

Published

Author(s)

Douglas Thomas, Jennifer Helgeson, Ireland Crowther

Abstract

This report provides a literature review of supply chain disruption and agent-based models. It also develops an agent-based model to examine emergent phenomena in supply chain disruption. This model will eventually be used to 1) examine how supply chain disruptions might propagate downstream, demonstrating the findings of previous papers and 2) identify emergent behavior or patterns in supply chains as it relates to disruptions.
