Abstract: Supply chains may serve as an effective platform for the development of sustainability by encouraging responsible conduct throughout all chain members and stages. Agent technology may greatly aid in decision-making during supply chain management. Due to recent changes in the seasons, fashion trends, and the requirements of various religions, particularly with regard to the ordering procedure, the supply chain for clothing has become one of the most difficult duties in this area. Because of this, it is crucial to enhance process coordination throughout the whole clothing supply chain and develop a decision-making strategy that functions best in a fluid environment. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used in this work to define the relationship between agents and simulate the supply chain process. This research incorporates enhanced African vulture optimizer, a modified bio-inspired approach, and fuzzy inference theory to assist the supply chain agent in determining the appropriate replenishment quantity and reorder point to lower the inventory cost. According to test results, the suggested AAVO-based technique may be successful in determining a target demand ordering amount while reducing the overall cost of the supply chain due to a lowered convergence trend and algorithm accuracy.
