MATLAB: Agent based modelling with MatLab

operations researchsupply chain management

Hi,
I am working on supply network configuration model and agent based modelling is identified as most suitable techniques to model individual behaviour of each supply entity (i.e. suppliers, distributors etc) and their relationships. am curious how far MatLab support to simulate the supply network operations. Please guide me with helpful links/resources. Thanks!

As I understand, you wish to use agent/event based modelling to model a supply network.
As far as I understand, the SimEvents toolbox in MATLAB would be ideal for modelling this kind of system. I could not find an existing example for Supply Network model but you can have a look at the examples in the following link which use SimEvents to model various discrete event system as these might help you get started with building your own model in SimEvents.
I hope this helps.
