Abstract
Closed-loop supply chains CLSC) concept is response to a challenge that more and more supply chains meet namely need to include a return flow of materials in they planning and coordination structure. Following paper presents on-going project regarding the application of agent-based systems for supply-chain synchronized production planning including management of raw materials flow as well as flow of returned by customer obsolete products and defected semi-products and products that are refused by quality control within the factory. Authors discuss the main problems that appear by synchronized material flow planning in CLSC. The model for integration of closed-loop supply chain through an agent-based system is proposed.
