چکیده

Supply chains are large systems consisting of many entities interacting in complex ways. The challenge faced by companies is how to design and manage such systems. Modeling and simulation enables analysis of complex systems but as the model increases in size and realism, or when it is necessary to locate model components geographically, a distribution capability is needed. The High Level Architecture (HLA), developed by the Department of Defense provides the infrastructure needed for large-scale distributed simulation. The supply chain management field is characterized by a lack of standards and definitions. The Supply Chain Council has established a standard way to examine and analyze supply chains with their Supply Chain Operations Reference, or SCOR model. The SCOR model provides a standard way of viewing a supply chain, a common set of manipulate-able variables and a set of accepted metrics for understanding the dynamic behavior of supply chains. The e-SCOR modeling and simulation environment is based on SCOR and adds discrete event simulation capabilities. This paper describes the architectural components used to implement a distributed supply chain modeling tool (e-SCOR) and applications of e-SCOR that demonstrate how enterprises are modeled and analyzed to determine the validity of alternative, virtual business models.

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...

Agent Based Simulation of Sale and Manufacturing Agents Acting Across a Pharmaceutical Supply Chain

Agent based modeling and simulation consider the behavior of agents acting in a system. The agents' interactions result in changing the agent’s behavior, the whole agent based system, and its environment. In this study, the manufacturing, sale, and receiving orders behaviors pertinent to manufacturing and sale agents acting across a pharmaceutical supply chain of an Iranian manufacturing medici...

Probabilistic analysis of stability of chain pillars in Tabas coal mine in Iran using Monte Carlo simulation

Performing a probabilistic study rather than a determinist one is a relatively easy way to quantify the uncertainty in an engineering design. Due to the complexity and poor accuracy of the statistical moment methods, the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method is wildly used in an engineering design. In this work, an MCS-based reliability analysis was carried out for the stability of the chain pill...
