Supply chain system has been proved to be a complex adaptive system in many researches through analysis and simulation, but how to realize and control its adaptability is still an open problem. This paper describes the method of applying complex adaptive system theory to supply chain management system, presents a self-adaptive and multi-agent model of supply chain system based on self-organized criticality theory and multi-agent technology, in which an avalanche mechanism enables innovation and adaptability of the system and a disaster mechanism controls the system fitness and dimensions. This model covers the features of self-organization, self-adaptability, co-evolution and innovation in supply chain management.
