Abstract
The chapter considers the problem of flexible supply chains (FSCs) configuring in a highly dynamic economic environment. A novel coalition formation mechanism is proposed, which helps to resolve conflictions between the objectives of the FSC participants and to agree upon effective solutions. This mechanism is based on a generalized model of the core of a cooperative game with fuzzy coalitions. The implementation of the proposed model for configuring of an automotive FSC is described. Simulation results are discussed.
