Abstract

The paper presents an approach for modelling the planning processes in supply networks at various partners, on different horizons and aggregation levels. After introducing an overall planning framework, we apply the Gaia agent-oriented analysis and design methodology to construct an organizational model for supply networks that operate in markets of customized mass products. The paper presents the main elements of this model, the necessary extensions of Gaia, and discusses the next steps towards developing and validating a portfolio of cooperation mechanism.
