Abstract-Supply chain consists various components/ identities like supplier, manufacturer, factories, warehouses, distributions agents etc.These identities are involved for supplying raw materials, components which reassembles in factory to produce a finished product.Multiagent systems (MAS) offer new perspectives compared to conventional, centrally organized architectures in the scope of supply chain.Conventional SCM systems are often restricted in terms of dynamic behavior.This paper focuses on an ongoing effort in the development of MAS for supply chain management .In our frame work we studies about the negotiation among the different related components of supply chain.In real world these role of individual component can be implemented through distinct agent.But it is not possible to describe the function and procedures for all software agents in an uncertain E-Commerce like traditional supply chain system.When an order arrives, a virtual supply chain may emerge from the system through automated or semi-automated negotiation processes.The proposed system can remove the problem of communication & decision making for negotiating system for supply chain.
