The small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have to carry on the organization and the system form innovation for enhancing the international competitive power themselves. Cluster economy in China has developed rapidly. They greatly promote the local economy in China, which has developed rapidly. They greatly promote the local economy development enormously. In fact, the industrial cluster in the low level of repeated construction and low efficiency operation have become the bottleneck of the development of local economy. Thus, the cluster supply chain has been proposed as a new management philosophy. Based on the background, this paper presents an analytic framework for cluster supply chain. The framework includes five layers. Each Agent can correspond to the actual operation of the entity, based on the messages between Agent interactions.
