A firm’s degree of specialization is modeled as the number of different goods it produces. When a firm chooses its degree of specialization, it faces a tradeoff between the fixed cost and the marginal cost of production. A firm’s degree of specialization is shown to increase with the extent of the market. Meanwhile, the real wage rate, as a measure of the extent of the market, is endogenously determined in the model and is shown to increase with the division of labor.

“…Xiaokai Yang and Siang Ng reviewed the classical literature on specialization and division of labor in 1998, and the modern literature of these fields is then surveyed in detail [1] . Yang and other researchers created a new classical economics that was followed by Smith's division of labor theory, and utilized inframarginal analysis of individuals' networking decisions in an attempt to formalize the classical mechanisms that drive division of labour.…”

With the development of the Internet and the trend of globalization of markets, the supply chain structure has undergone enormous changes. Today the development of division of labor is extended from the individual/communal level to intraindustrial and intra-product division of labor. In order to analyze the mechanism of intra-product division of labor in supply chain, this paper attempts to build a sub-model of the manufacturer division of labor to describe the dynamics characteristics of the manufacturer division of labor, which is based on the Swarmbased supply chain operation model. While this model should be served as the foundation for further simulation programming in the Swarm simulation platform, which can be considered as a tool for the simulation of Complex Adaptive System. By this way, we hope to discuss the supply chain evolution law.
