Modelling viable supply networks with cooperative adaptive financing

We propose a financial liquidity policy sharing method for firm-to-firm supply networks, introducing a scalable autonomous control function for viable complex adaptive supply networks. Cooperation and competition in supply chains is reconciled through overlapping collaborative sets, making firms interdependent and enabling distributed risk governance. How cooperative range - visibility - affects viability is studied using dynamic complex adaptive systems modelling. We find that viability needs cooperation; visibility and viability grow together in scale-free supply networks; and distributed control, where firms only have limited partner information, outperforms centralised control. This suggests that policy toward network viability should implement distributed supply chain financial governance, supporting interfirm collaboration, to enable autonomous control.

Towards Autonomous Supply Chains: Definition, Characteristics, Conceptual Framework, and Autonomy Levels

Recent global disruptions, such as the pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, have profoundly exposed vulnerabilities in traditional supply chains, requiring exploration of more resilient alternatives. Autonomous supply chains (ASCs) have emerged as a potential solution, offering increased visibility, flexibility, and resilience in turbulent trade environments. Despite discussions in industry and academia over several years, ASCs lack well-established theoretical foundations. This paper addresses this research gap by presenting a formal definition of ASC along with its defining characteristics and auxiliary concepts. We propose a layered conceptual framework called the MIISI model. An illustrative case study focusing on the meat supply chain demonstrates an initial ASC implementation based on this conceptual model. Additionally, we introduce a seven-level supply chain autonomy reference model, delineating a trajectory towards achieving a full supply chain autonomy. Recognising that this work represents an initial endeavour, we emphasise the need for continued exploration in this emerging domain. We anticipate that this work will stimulate further research, both theoretical and technical, and contribute to the continual evolution of ASCs.

Implementation of Autonomous Supply Chains for Digital Twinning: a Multi-Agent Approach

Trade disruptions, the pandemic, and the Ukraine war over the past years have adversely affected global supply chains, revealing their vulnerability. Autonomous supply chains are an emerging topic that has gained attention in industry and academia as a means of increasing their monitoring and robustness. While many theoretical frameworks exist, there is only sparse work to facilitate generalisable technical implementation. We address this gap by investigating multi-agent system approaches for implementing autonomous supply chains, presenting an autonomous economic agent-based technical framework. We illustrate this framework with a prototype, studied in a perishable food supply chain scenario, and discuss possible extensions.
