Abstract: This paper discusses analytical methods to enable the order fulfillment process (OFP) of a customer-focused enterprise. We present three examples of agent-based systems that illustrate the benefits of decentralized control in discrete part manufacturing. The Swarm simulation platform is introduced as a novel means to investigate supply chain management strategies. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1997
