Negotiation Automation Platform
Figure 2-1 : Automation of negotiation by AI agents .
It is important to note that solutions based on traditional data sharing and collaborative control technologies have been proposed as alternative approaches to Automated Negotiation . However , with these traditional technologies , the optimizer needs to centrally collect all data required for optimization . The issue with these solutions is that confidential information such as the availability of production resources and stock plans of components may be shared , leading to involuntary disclosure of sensitive data . These problems can be challenging to implement under a free-market capitalist economy .
NAP does not rely on these assumptions allowing it to be applied across various scenarios . It performs automatic offer creation and judgment based on internal company data such as inventory levels , available resources , production capacity , production plans , target profits , and safety margins . None of the sensitive information is included in the messages sent to trading partners . Additionally , agreements between partners are only formed when both parties deem it acceptable , meaning that there is no forced commitment to trading conditions predetermined by any rule . These advantages are among the primary motivations for introducing NAP to enhance supply chain efficiency .
NAP can also improve resource utilization efficiency by suppressing excessive inventory and production , enabling joint delivery , and facilitating changes to low CO2 emission transportation methods . As a result , NAP can contribute to economic and environmental sustainability across various sectors and support UN Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) 1 , especially “ 7 : Affordable and clean Energy ,” “ 8 : Decent Work and Economic Growth ” and “ 9 : Industry , Innovation , and Infrastructure .”
