As supply chain risk management has transitioned from an emerging topic to a growing
research area, there is a need to classify different types of research and examine the …

This paper reports the results of a review of simulation applications published within peer-
reviewed literature between 1997 and 2006 to provide an up-to-date picture of the role of …

Discrete event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD) are two modelling approaches
widely used as decision support tools in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM). A …

This contribution summarizes the design and analysis of experiments with computerized
simulation models. It focuses on two metamodel (surrogate, emulator) types, namely first …

In this paper, we study the integrated supplier-selection and order-allocation problem in a
two-echelon make-to-order supply chain motivated by the belt conveyor industry. In our …

This paper provides an assessment of the impact of collaboration and smoothing
replenishment rules on supply chain operational performance and customer service level …

The paper deals with the development of an integrated supplier selection and multi-echelon
distribution inventory model (MEDIM) for the original equipment manufacturing company in a …

Simulation optimization is increasingly popular for solving complicated and mathematically
intractable business problems. Focusing on academic articles published between 1998 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 …

This paper is grounded on a discrete-event simulation model, reproducing a fast moving
consumer goods (FMCG) supply chain, and aims at quantitatively assessing the effects of …
