Simulation-based Ripple Effect Modeling in the Supply Chain

Ripple effect in supply chains results from disruption propagation from the initial disruption point to the supply, production, and distribution networks. This study reveals how simulation can help fill the gaps in ripple effect management that could not be filled with analytical modeling...

Ripple effect in supply chains results from disruption propagation from the initial disruption point to the supply, production, and distribution networks. This study reveals how simulation can help fill the gaps in ripple effect management that could not be filled with analytical modeling. This is achieved through experimenting with a multi-echelon supply chain simulation model that is focused on reproducing capacity...
