Simulation can be such a powerful tool in supply chain management and logistics system, yet not all the time. It is helpful to know about the recent development of simulation in supply chain management and logistics fields.
- How far has simulation been implemented in supply chain management (SCM) and logistics fields?
- How far can simulation be applied in SCM and logistics? ( What are the constraints and limitations?)
- What are the advantages and drawbacks of simulation in SCM and logistics activities?
- What are the achievements of simulation in these 2 fields?
- What are the requirements to use simulation? (technique? …)
- What kinds of industry in which simulation can be implemented?
- What have been the main research areas of simulation in SCM and logistics fields?
- What is the recent trend of research/application of simulation in SCM and logistics?
- What will be the future trend of simulation in SCM and logistics fields?
- What are the recent high technologies / advanced softwares being used in the simulation of supply chain and logistics activities?
