Abstract
The Brazilian gypsum has one of the highest levels of recognized mineral qualities in the world. Companies that operate in this sector support major economy-driving industries such as civil construction, architecture, medicine, and agriculture and are an input for the manufacture of paints, phosphors, and insecticides, among others. Most of the companies that constitute this sector are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which require supply chain solutions to maintain competition in market share. Supply chain integration as a collaborative solution has become a necessary strategy for enhancing SMEs decision-making capability. This study proposes a conceptual model based on a normative multi-agent system approach that offers a dynamic view about supply chain integration for managers and other stakeholders. From this contribution, it is possible to obtain constant information flow among stakeholders and build an effective strategic context for SMEs in the Brazilian Gypsum Local Productive Arrangement (LPA).
