Abstract: The annual international Trading Agent Competition-Supply Chain Management (TAC-SCM) game is based around the manufacture and supply of PCs. There are multiple agents in the game, scheduling production, competing for orders from customers and components from suppliers. A key decision to be made each day in the game is what offers should be made to customers. Each day, the agents receive a set of request for quotes (RFQ) from customers, agents respond with offers, and then the customers select the lowest bid.
