Abstract: Abstract Operational fulfillment of supply chain processes in enterprise networks is regularly affected negatively by disruptive events. Event management promises to identify such problems in a timely fashion and significantly increase reaction time. A concept based on software agent technology is presented which enhances time and defect flexibility of supply chain processes. Evaluation of the concept indicates cost and cycle time reductions in multi-level supply chains which are not achieved by conventional approaches.
