Abstract

This paper describes an effort that involved development of a simulation model for evaluating the business processes and inventory control parameters of a logistics and distribution supply chain. A generic simulation tool, rather than a supply chain simulator, was developed for meeting customized needs of the effort. The paper describes the approaches used to model at the selected level of abstraction, the development of interfaces for data and experimentation and the development and delivery of animation for communicating the approach and results to the client.
