Logistics: simulation based decision support for supply chain logistics

Published: 07 December 2003 Publication History

Abstract

Supply chain logistics planning is a complex process in both military and civilian operations. Poor planning may lead to system instability that might seriously influence the ability of the supply chain to satisfy its customers or might affect a combat mission. Therefore, correct decisions need to be made to optimize the performance of the system. It is important that the right information is transferred to the concerned unit that needs to receive the right information. Our model features a decision support system that aids human in making decisions and studies the role of a decision support system in enhancing the performance of the supply chain logistics system. The model is object oriented in nature, which helps in rapid prototyping of the different components of the system.
