Abstract

Petroleum industry supply chain is a complex supply chain with large number of processes starting right from extraction till customer delivery. In this paper multi-agent technology has been applied to make the supply chain faster as compared to conventional supply chain practices. Here a representative but exhaustive model is considered, by taking into account the various options available at each agent. Solving this problem requires an advanced Heuristic method like Coevolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization based on Cauchy distribution which has been precisely made for cost and resource allocation. Cauchy provides a very rapid path towards approaching the solution. The previous work done on the Co-PSO using Gaussian approach is compared with that of Cauchy approach and relevant conclusions drawn.
