The objective of this Phase II Scalable Enterprise Systems project is to develop a Supply Chain Optimization and Protocol Environment that emulates the behavior of supply chains involving multiple, independent, goal-seeking entities over time. Entities will be represented by novel optimization models that capture the key decision variables and technological constraints, while retaining enough special structure to allow efficient solution. Interactions among entities will be described through protocols that specify what goods, money, and information pass among entities, in what order entities make decisions, how information is processed by each entity to make its decisions, and how entities respond to unforeseen events that do not match their plans. The approach will allow users to represent a range of different modes of interaction among entities in the supply chain, which, although simplified relative to industrial practice, should provide insights into many cases of practical interest. By focusing on the policy level of analysis, it provides sufficient granularity for evaluating high-value supply chain opportunities, and assessing the associated risks, unencumbered by the transactional detail of existing modeling systems. If successful, this project would provide managers with a tool for rapid prototyping of supply chain proposals that would permit them to evaluate possibilities without either implementing an untested idea or waiting for competitors to do it and risking loss of market share. Researchers would be provided a test bed for assessing how well theoretically derived results generalize to different modes of operation that strain some of the original assumptions, and for experimenting with forms of supply chain collaboration too complex for treatment analytically. Educators will be able to explore realistic cases with students by varying model parameters and displaying the results in near real time.

这个第二阶段可扩展企业系统项目的目标是开发一个供应链优化和协议环境，模拟涉及多个独立的、寻求目标的实体的供应链行为。 实体将由新颖的优化模型表示，这些模型捕获关键决策变量和技术约束，同时保留足够的特殊结构以实现有效的解决方案。 实体之间的交互将通过协议来描述，这些协议指定实体之间传递哪些商品、金钱和信息，实体做出决策的顺序，每个实体如何处理信息以做出决策，以及实体如何应对与其计划不匹配的不可预见事件。 该方法将使用户能够代表供应链中各实体之间的一系列不同的互动模式，尽管相对于工业实践而言有所简化，但应能深入了解许多具有实际意义的案例。 通过专注于政策层面的分析，它提供了足够的粒度来评估高价值的供应链机会，并评估相关的风险，不受现有建模系统的交易细节的阻碍。如果成功，该项目将为管理人员提供一个工具，用于快速制作供应链提案的原型，使他们能够评估各种可能性，而不必实施未经测试的想法，也不必等待竞争对手来实施，从而冒着失去市场份额的风险。 研究人员将获得一个测试平台，用于评估理论推导的结果如何推广到不同的操作模式，这些操作模式会对一些原始假设造成压力，并对过于复杂而无法分析处理的供应链合作形式进行实验。 教育工作者将能够通过改变模型参数并在接近真实的时间内显示结果来与学生一起探索现实的案例。
