Mitigation of Short-term Disturbance Negative Impacts in the Agent-Based Model of a Production Companies Network

This article is devoted to the study of a supply chain disturbance impact on manufacturing volumes in a production system network. Each network agent's product can be used as a resource by other system agents (manufacturers). A supply chain disturbance can lead to operating cease of the entire network. Authors suggest using of short-term partial resources reservation to mitigate negative consequences of such disturbances. An agent-based model with a reservation algorithm compatible with strategies for resource procurement in terms of financial constraints was engineered. This model works in accordance with the static input-output Leontief's model. The results can be used for choosing the ways of system's stability improving, and protecting it from various disturbances and imbalance.
