摘要
This paper presents an agent-oriented and knowledge-based system (AOKBS) for strategic e-procurement. The AOKBS has been designed to capture and leverage the knowledge of an enterprise to generate dynamic business rules by which an effective procurement strategy can be generated based on enterprise needs and the analysis of relevant market conditions. The performance and practices of the suppliers can also be evaluated and captured continuously, respectively, by the AOKBS. Artificial intelligence technologies such as case-based reasoning and agent technology are incorporated for decision analysis. A prototype e-procurement system has been built and implemented successfully with a multinational manufacturer.
