N2 - Information technology has become a strong modelling approach to support the complexities involved in a process. One example of this technology is the multiagent system which, from a decentralized supply chain configuration perspective, supports the information sharing processes that any of its node will be able to carry out to support its process in a collaborative manner, for example, the planning and the decision-making process. Therefore, this paper presents a novel collaborative planning model in supply chain networks by considering a multiagent system modelling approach in order to support the decision-making process from a decentralized perspective. The hypothesis presented herein is that by collaborating in the information exchange related with the visibility of the demand plans, the decision-making process will be improved by reducing, in example, the backlogs and the inventory on hand costs.
