Abstract

A large food manufacturer recently decided to merge with another food manufacturer of similar size. The companies anticipated dealing with complex issues of combining their operations and supply chains. The companies decided to use simulation as an analysis tool for the merging of their supply chains. This paper presents a case study of the simulation study and the results.
