Abstract: |
One of the main goals of
simulation in supply chain management is to evaluate the performance and how
it can be increased by effectively managing a complex supply chain.
Simulation supports managers in decision making at
strategic, tactical and operational levels through visualizing, understanding
and analyzing the dynamics of the supply chain (SC). This paper provides a
detailed analysis of the practice of simulation for different supply chain
management (SCM) processes. The supply chain operation reference (SCOR) model
is used for the classification of SCM processes. It reports the results of a
review and analysis of simulation applications based on literature published
within peerreviewed journals until 2013 in order to
provide an upto- date picture of the role of
simulation techniques in SCM. A structured methodology is followed to narrow down
the publications (n=569). This research paper mentions different types of
simulation in the context to SCM, describes their main characteristics as
well as the implementation at different SCM process levels. This leads us to
interesting trends and patterns on how different simulation types are applied
to different SCM processes in order to answer different managerial questions. |
