Research on Modeling and Simulation of Distributed Supply Chain Based on HAS

A general information model for the interaction communication between supply chain members is not proposed in the simulation modeling methods of distributed supply chain based on HLA (High Level Architecture) and SCOR (Supply Chain Operation Reference). A single simulation model is used for the modeling of internal structure of federates, by which a clear description of the internal structure and action of supply chain members can not be obtained. In order to solve these problems, a simulation modeling method of distributed supply chain based on HAS (HLA-Agent-SCOR) is put forward, according to characteristics of modeling of HLA, SCOR and Agent. Firstly, the supply chain structure modeling based on HLA that used to build structure model of supply chain is discussed. Secondly, modeling of Agent blocks integrating processes from SCOR and modeling of federates based on Agent are illustrated to create model of supply chain members. Thirdly the simulation framework of distributed supply chain system is designed. Lastly, a simulation example is given and the feasibility of simulation modeling method of distributed supply chain based on HAS is verified.
