The execution of supply process orders in a supply chain is conditioned by different types of disruptive events that must be detected and solved in real time. This requires the ability to proactively monitor, analyze and notify disruptive events. To this aim, in this work we present a model. Based on this model a software agent has been designed. A reactive-deliberative hybrid architecture provides the ability to proactively detect, analyze and notify disruptive events that take place in a supply chain. For the deliberative performance of the agent, a cause-effect relation model based on a Bayesian network with decision nodes is proposed.
