Authors in this article focus on aspect of agents in logistics and supply chain. In this area 3 types of agents can be distinguished: searching agents, monitoring agents and managing agents. Describing the agents topic author decided to present basic information about Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS), which are used in logistics also. In this article are presented examples of using each mentioned method of simulation in logistics area.
