Abstract

Agent based approach to the model the behavior of supply chain has proven to be effective and practical. It also satisfies the performance measurement requirements of the supply chain actors. In palm oil supply chain (POSC) operational risk, investment and technology levels between actors may not be proportionately rewarded at the same levels of added-value. Each actor will attempt to obtain the highest reward. However, each actor must consider the level of added-value obtained by actors so as to maintain fair balance in the overall supply chain and it will collapse. In this chapter the authors propose a formula to calculate the utility-function based added-value for each of the actors in the POSC. To optimize added-value distribution and negotiation between agents, the concept of stakeholder dialogue was used. Netlogo software was used in developing the models this chapter is important because developed models offer a workable algorithm to seek optimum weight level of underlying factors while calculating utility added-value that satisfy POSC as whole, therefore ensuring the supply chain sustainability. Application of these models to other types of commodity and different supply chain models will need some adjustments in the calculation.
