Paper Abstract:
|
E-Commerce has increasingly gained notoriety, complexity and dynamism throughout several areas and channels. In
order to cope with this reality, both standard and e-supply chains have seen their importance amplified. A suitable virtual
experimental scenario is the TAC SCM challenge, providing a hypothesis testing environment. In this background, a
domain-specific flexible optimization approach is proposed in the form of Sorter95, an agent that successfully
participated in the mentioned competition. The achieved nine million profit average confirmed market adaptability
supported through efficient demand request management, product price policy and component acquisition policy,
assuring that the agent was present in the market whenever economically attractive. The encouraging results not only
proved the approach to be a valid one, but also confirmed it to be an accurate option to accomplish an aggressive
outcome, once a few already identified improvements are implemented. |
