The article is devoted to the development of a simulation system-dynamic model for predicting work parameters of a production network based on the analysis of data on deliveries within the framework of network contracts. In the experiment, a forecast was made for saving enterprise resources in the context of network interaction by reducing the delivery times and decreasing the standard level of stocks of materials. Analysis of the experimental results allows estimation the parameters and find effective conditions for network contracts in the production network, as well as substantiate the prospects for building a new architecture for inventory management processes in the production network, as a complex interaction system. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..
