Contents:
Event Management in Supply Networks -- Information Base for Event Management -- Event Management Functions -- Agent-based Concept -- Prototype Implementations -- Evaluation -- Conclusions and Outlook.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: "Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM)" is one of the major topics in application-oriented Supply Chain Management. However, many solutions lack conceptual precision and currently available client-server SCEM-systems are ill-suited for complex supply networks in today's business environment. These enterprise networks are negatively affected by disruptive events in fulfillment processes (production, transportation, warehousing) which cause ripple effects on many network levels. Agent-based proactive information logistics promises to overcome existing deficits by providing event-related information to all participants in the distributed environment. Hence, follow-up costs of disruptive events are significantly reduced for all network participants and performance of a supply network is increased. In this book a thorough analysis of the event management problem domain is the starting point to develop a generic agent-based approach to Supply Network Event Management. The concept is illustrated with prototypical implementations and assessed in a multi-dimensional evaluation of potential benefits. The main focus lies on practical issues of event management (e.g. semantic interoperability) and economic benefits to be achieved with agent technology in this state-of-the-art problem domain.
