Über dieses Buch

Supply Chain Simulation allows readers to practice modeling and simulating a multi-level supply chain. The chapters are a combination of the practical and the theoretical, covering:

knowledge of simulation methods and techniques,the conceptual framework of a typical supply chain,the main concepts of system dynamics, anda set of practice problems with their corresponding solutions.

The problem set includes illustrations and graphs relating to the simulation results of the Vensim® program, the main code of which is also provided. The examples used are a valuable simulation tool that can be modified and extended according to user requirements.

The objective of Supply Chain Simulation is to meet the demands of supply chain simulation or similar courses taught at the postgraduate level. The “what if” analysis recreates different simulation scenarios to improve the decision-making process in terms of supply chain performance, making the book useful not only for postgraduate students, but also for industrial practitioners.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Supply Chain Simulation
Abstract
This chapter begins with a discussion about the use of analytical and simulation models. Next, general it describes simulation model characteristics as a preliminary step to define the objectives of a simulation model for a supply chain. For this purpose, it differentiates the various simulation models for supply chains: spreadsheet, systems dynamics, systems dynamics with discrete events and business games. Besides, it also describes local, parallel and distributed simulations for the supply chain.

Chapter 2. Conceptual Framework for Supply Chain Simulation
Abstract
This chapter reviews the conceptual framework for supply chain management, which is taken as the basis of this book for supply chain simulation. Next, the main procedures for supply chain simulation are covered.

Chapter 3. Bullwhip Effect in Supply Chains
Abstract
This chapter reviews the bullwhip effect concept in a supply chain. Then, the main causes of the bullwhip effect are examined, along with the strategies to neutralize it. In addition, this chapter describes how to measure the bullwhip effect. Finally, the different supply chain structures are related with the bullwhip effect.

Chapter 4. System Dynamics: Main Concepts
Abstract
This chapter describes the process to construct a causal loop diagram and a flow diagram, which are the main systems dynamics tools. It also describes the steps to follow to construct a systems dynamics-based simulation model and the most significant tests to validate a dynamic simulation model. Finally, it characterizes the elements to construct a dynamic model for a traditional, reduced, e-shopping, EPOS and VMI supply chain.

Chapter 5. Starting to Model the Supply Chain: Warehouse Management
Abstract
This chapter introduces the reader to the design of simulation supply chain models. It begins with system modeling which considers the input of finished goods in a warehouse. The aim of the proposed problems is that the reader is able to recognize the variables required to model a system that represents how any small retailer can manage customer demand by controlling its inventory level and placing orders to a supplier or a manufacturer whenever necessary. The level of difficulty of the problems is gradual and the solution proposed is a guideline.

Chapter 6. Modeling a Traditional Supply Chain by Using Causal Loop Diagrams
Abstract
This chapter addresses the modeling of a traditional supply chain made up of the following levels: final customer, retailer, wholesaler and manufacturer. It considers the causal loop diagrams of each level and describes the information and materials flows up- and downstream, respectively, along the traditional supply chain.
Francisco Campuzano, Josefa Mula
Chapter 7. Getting into Practice: Modeling an Entire Traditional Supply Chain
Abstract
This chapter considers and solves the construction of a flow diagram and the subsequent simulation of a traditional supply chain with three levels; final customer, retailer and manufacturer; using the Vensim® software. Given the complexity of the model, flow diagrams, scheduling and the required patterns have been added so that the reader can solve and reproduce the model considered.
