Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the agent based approach for modeling disturbances in supply chain. An introduction to the issue of Agent-Based Modeling is provided. The paper describes in detail the modeled area of a supply chain, taking into account different modeling techniques. Disturbances (selected and highlighted by the authors) are identified and modeling methods are discussed. Two selected disturbances are modeled using of agent-based approach. The research highlights of the performed works are as follows: identifying disturbances in a supply chain, which can be modeled with use of the ABS approach and demonstrating how to model the chosen disturbances by using the above method of modeling.
