Exploring the Modeling Method of Multi-Agent Petri Netin the Distribution System of a Supply Chain

Explores the dynamic action and coordination mechanism of every relative entities in the distribution system of a supply chain. In combination with the theory of complex adaptive system, a new method of advanced Petri net is proposed, which is called the agent based genetic hierarchy colored Petri nets (AGHCPN). When used to build the operational level model of the adaptive agent, the AGHCPN method in the distribution system of a supply chain permits the description to possess the characteristics of adaptive agent as autonomous, dynamical, and self adaptive etc. A dynamical model of a distribution system based on multi agents in a supply chain is built with the AGHCPN method, it forms the basis of the following procedures like simulation and programming, achieves the quantitative analysis combined with the qualitative analysis of the multi agent distribution system in a supply chain.
