Supply-chain Simulation Integrated Discrete-event Modeling with System-Dynamics Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a novel simulation framework that integrates discreteevent modeling with system-dynamics modeling. The former has strength in system performance evaluation; meanwhile, the later has an advantage of representing feedback mechanisms in complex systems. We are currently developing a hybrid-modeling framework, which combines discrete-event modeling with system dynamics modeling. The objectives of this framework are: (1) to simulate feedbacks of supply-chain activities in social system mechanisms, (2) to enable management simulation in long time terms, and finally (3) to clarify requirement specifications towards supply-chain management gaming. This paper summarizes this framework and represents application examples.

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...

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...
