Abstract: |
The flow of
products and information within supply chain networks is an important
consideration for practitioners. Simulation tools provide an efficient
approach for analysing and validating dynamic systems such as supply chains,
where distorted information and poor product management often lead to
uncertainty and to instability phenomena. This paper considers the case of a
series decentralised supply chain model using Timed Coloured Petri nets (or
Timed CP-nets) and analyses the impact of various continuous inventory policies
and known forecasting methods followed by supply chain participants. CPN
Tools [12] are used for the design of decision-making processes and simulation
results are presented to highlight the main issues arising in real systems
and to provide insights for future work on modelling and simulation of supply
chains. |
