Framework for agent based supply chain coordination The Distribution Centers of individual automotive manufacturers will send their distribution requirement (DRP) to a Logistics Coordinator who will transform the DRP into transport and manufacturing requirements. These requirements will be broadcast to the available transporters and manufacturer’s plants so that they could work on their bids. After the bids are received, the logistics coordinator will work on a global optimized solution before committing the distribution centers.
