Purpose – This paper aims to discuss a simulation study for a multi‐product, two‐echelon inventory replenishment system … changes in the cost. Design/methodology/approach – Mathematical modeling and simulation methodology is used to test the …

review system with lost sales under varying demand patterns by using simulation method. Design/methodology/approach – The … simulation model has been built using a spreadsheet program and depicts a special case of several retailers supplied by a central … warehouse. Simulation scenarios are created based on two factors: length of the review period, and product type in terms of the …

‐tier supply chain and verify the values obtained by mathematical model in physical simulation. Design/methodology/approach – The … inventory control at both suppliers. Physical simulation is then designed in such a way that it satisfies all the assumptions … for mathematical model. Simulation is run to verify the values obtained from mathematical model. Findings – Computer …

them to be used more efficiently in environments with short lead times. Design/methodology/approach – A simulation approach … has been chosen to assess the efficiency of the developed model. This simulation is based on randomly generated demand … data with a compound Poisson type of distribution. Findings – Results from the simulation show that traditionally used …

relative to all constituencies. Design/methodology/approach – Simulation is used to examine the use of yard‐stacking on Fridays …

study uses discrete event simulation to explore the performance increase achieved by VMI under different supply chain …

, the “desirable” truck driver turnover rate for each carrier. Findings – Simulation results imply that the model may be …

management of RTI systems. Design/methodology/approach – A combined case study and simulation approach was used. A case study was … performed to identify and understand how an existing RTI system is managed, while discrete‐event simulation was the method … case and simulation study. Practical implications – The combined methods proved to be an efficient way of assessing and …

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an eight‐step simulation model development process (SMDP) for the … design, implementation, and evaluation of logistics and supply chain simulation models, and to identify rigor criteria for … chain studies that employ discrete‐event simulation modeling. From this pool, studies that report in detail on the steps …
