System Dynamics Modeling of Multi-Channel Supply Chain System: A Hypothetical LPG Distribution with Disloyal Household Customers

The availability of LPG in the community is a sensitive issue. If there shortage, it has potential to cause chaos and inflation. final consumers, namely households micro business stalls, will generally be disloyal. They are not tied one particular store get they need. Since number tanks circulation remain constant, analysis can focused on tanks. Continuous simulation method with system dynamics used growth analysis. In this paper utilized model discrete movement circulating which case represented much smaller system, consisting filling stations, agents, stores. modeling results provide sufficient picture how tank optimized appropriately.
