Negotiation Automation Platform
For that purpose , we prepared a human-AI negotiation interface with a GUI ( Figure 5-8 ). Additionally , we prototyped a resource visualization GUI for the shipper to observe changes in the resource while negotiations progressed .
Figure
5-8 : AI-human negotiation .
The experiment ’ s results confirmed that coordination , which currently takes several hours to several days with human operation , can be completed in just a few dozen seconds . This finding demonstrates that in this domain as well , NAP has the potential to contribute to the efficiency improvement of supply chains .
6 INVITATION TO NAP TRIALS
We have been offering a demo since March 2023 that allows users to experience virtual negotiations with AI , focusing on delivery date negotiations in manufacturing supply chains through a chat-based interface ( Figure 6-1 ). Users can experience the efficiency of the negotiation process and the reduction in time required for coordinating delivery dates . This is based on the " Electronic Component Procurement " case mentioned in Section 5.1 Electronic Component Procurement .
If you are interested in the virtual negotiation demo , please visit the homepage of the Automated Negotiation SCM Consortium 9 . There , you can find instructions and an overview of NAP activities . You will then be asked to sign an NDA to access detailed materials . After that , we can discuss
