Optimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach

Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...

Hybrid Modeling Approach for Supply-Chain Simulation

This paper proposes a novel simulation-modeling framework that combines discrete-event simulations with system-dynamics simulations. The former represents both operational processes inside of a supply-chain, and the later represents management environment outside of a supply-chain. Further, the paper also discusses modeling capabilities of the proposed framework for supply-chain systems in real...

COMPOSABLE MODELING AND DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION FRAMEWORK FOR DISCRETE SUPPLY-CHAIN SYSTEMS WITH PREDICTIVE CONTROL by

Supply-chain networks such as semiconductor manufacturing systems exhibit a high degree of structural and behavioral complexity. Simulation modeling concepts, approaches, and tools are the primary means for analysis and design of intricate behavior and relationships found in many of today’s supply-chain networks. A fundamental barrier in developing rigorous simulation models of supply-chain sys...

Hybrid Modeling and Simulation of Automotive Supply Chain Network

According to the operation of automotive supply chain and the features of various simulation methods, we create and simulate a automotive supply chain network model with the core enterprise of two vehicle manufacturers, consisting of several parts suppliers, vehicle distributors and logistics service providers. On this basis of a conceptual model including the establishment of enterprise layer,...
