In recent years, there has been a growing debate, particularly in the UK and Europe, over
the merits of using discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD); there are …

A summary of the important issues arising in supply chain research is presented. A review of
the various mathematical methods used to model and analyse supply chains is then …

This paper presents a literature survey on recent use of discrete-event simulation in real-
world manufacturing logistics decision-making. The sample of the survey consists of 52 …

Managers and researchers are coming to realize that Supply Chain Disruptions (SCDs)
constitute a real and significant threat–a threat that has to be better understood. However …

The computer simulation of manufacturing systems is commonly carried out using discrete
event simulation (DES). Indeed, there appears to be a lack of applications of continuous …

The increased level of competitiveness in all industrial sectors, exacerbated in the last years
by the globalisation of the economies and by the sharp fall of the final demands, are pushing …
