چکیده
It has become a matter of survival that many companies improve their supply chain efficiency. This presents an opportunity for simulation. However, there are many challenges that must be overcome for simulation to be a contributor to play an effective role. Four contributors discuss the opportunities that they see for simulation to play a meaningful role in the area of supply chain management.

متن کاملPanel Session: the Future of Simulation
Panelists representing seven areas of application give their views on the future of simulation. There is some consistency, but not a lot. Optimization, the web, training, supply chain management, graphics, and real time simulation received two mentions each. However, depending on how the counting is performed, there are another six areas with a single mention.
