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.

该II阶段可扩展企业系统项目的目的是开发供应链优化和协议环境，该环境模仿涉及多个，独立的，寻求目标的实体的供应链的行为。 实体将由捕获关键决策变量和技术约束的新型优化模型表示，同时保留足够的特殊结构以允许有效的解决方案。 实体之间的互动将通过协议进行描述，这些协议指定实体之间的商品，金钱和信息通过哪些订单实体做出决定，每个实体如何处理信息以做出决定以及实体如何应对与他们计划不符合计划的不可预见的事件的响应。 该方法将使用户能够代表供应链中实体之间的一系列不同的交互模式，尽管相对于工业实践而简化了，但应提供有关许多实际兴趣情况的见解。 通过关注分析的政策级别，它提供了足够的粒度来评估高价值供应链机会，并评估相关风险，并被现有建模系统的交易细节所束缚。如果成功的话，该项目将为管理人员提供快速原型供应链建议的工具，该提案将使他们能够评估可能性，而无需实施未经测试的想法，或者等待竞争对手做到这一点，并冒着失去市场份额的风险。 将为研究人员提供一个测试床，以评估理论得出的结果如何推广到构成某些原始假设的不同操作模式，并尝试使用供应链协作的形式过于复杂而无法进行分析治疗。 教育工作者将能够通过改变模型参数并接近实时显示结果来探索学生的现实案例。
