Abstract

This paper presents an application of discrete-event simulation in modeling a supply-chain for consumer products. Optimization of the simulation model provides an efficient way to produce operating recommendations from the model. The use of ProModel and SimRunner in this application describes a modeling and optimization software suite which can be used for supply-chain planning and operation.
