Motivations and barriers in using distributed supply chain simulation
Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a technique that is used by analysts to take informed decisions regarding existing or a proposed systems of interest. DES models typically represent the processes associated with various business units. However, in the case of supply chains more than one business unit may need to be modelled as different organisations may be responsible for various supply chai...
متن کاملAnalysis of Supply Chain Dynamics using Distributed Simulation
Dynamics in a supply chain are attributed to the delays and amplifications in the flow of information across the supply chain system. Demand is an important form of information that passes from one firm to another. During these transfers, the demand information gets distorted leading to demand amplifications. This demand amplification effect (popularly known as the bullwhip effect) has been wid...
متن کاملDistributed Supply Chain Simulation across Enterprise Boundaries
The effective practice of supply chain management (SCM) is crucial to improve corporations' competitive advantage. Many corporations have built simulation models to facilitate the application of simulation in designing, evaluating, and optimizing their supply chain. Traditionally, a supply chain involves only a single enterprise with multiple facilities and distribution centers. Hence, sharing ...
متن کاملData Distribution Management for Distributed Supply Chain Simulation
Interest in Distributed (Interactive) Simulation has over the last two decades been mostly dominated by the military and the Department of Defense. More recently, non-military, commercial applications are starting to appear in this area. Examples of these applications can be found in traffic control management, supply chain simulation and logistics. The simulation of a Distributed Supply Chain ...
متن کاملGRIDS-SCF: An Infrastructure for Distributed Supply Chain Simulation
Within the context of supply chain simulation, this paper introduces the generic runtime infrastructure for distributed simulation as a novel infrastructure for distributed supply chain simulation that promotes user transparency and extensible service provision. These are discussed with regard to a distributed simulation of a supply chain model (federation) GRIDS-SCF and a case study on supply ...
