Abstract
With the advent of web technologies the supply logistics in industry received a boost in what is nowadays called eSupply, Supply Chain Management, or - even more appropriate — Supply Net Management (SNM). In this contribution research in this domain is motivated by sketching the complexity of SNM especially in automotive industry and by showing up possible pathways into a visionary future. Then essentially two current research tracks in Daimler-Chrysler R&T are addressed, namely (1) supply net configuration, simulation and assessment, and (2) distributed supply net planning. In both domains agent technology is used, partly together with other AI techniques.
This contribution has more than one “father” in my research team. I especially thank Hartwig Baumgärtel and Jörg Wilke for their imagination and thorough work.
