Abstract: To support the analysis of complex supply chain system, the framework of multi-Agent-based distributed simulation platform for supply chain was proposed, and the contents of the framework at all levels were analyzed. The structure of collaborative control of multi-Agent supporting the distributed simulation was presented. The time synchronization model for distributed simulation was designed and the implementation steps for time synchronization were presented. By using modular design method of software, the class structure which realized the distributed simulation platform was constructed, and a graphical user interface was developed. Finally, the actual manufacturing process of an integrated circuit manufacturer was simulated, and simulation results demonstrated that the simulation platform was effective in supporting supply chain modeling and simulation.

Key words: supply chain, Agent, Java Agent development framework, distributed simulation, time synchronization
