Supply Chain Management is now vital part of competitive in all type of markets. Role based mobile agents can be proper for SCM coordination and improve it. In this work first we have studied the SC, SCM, Software Agent, Mobile Agent and Mobile Agent Environment. Then we have offered the conceptual model for Supply Chain Coordination. In this model we rationally have divided the Supply Chain to virtual segment corresponds with works that have been done in these segments. Every segment considered Mobile Agent Environment. Mobile Agents that are representative from participant exist in these segments and do their duty with use of roles provided in virtual segments. Finally we explain the virtual segments, provided roles in environment, representative agent and benefit of this model.
