Abstract: We discuss the design, development and testing of a prototype object-oriented framework for performing supply chain simulations. We define the primary objects required for supply chain simulations and design how each of these objects are related to each other to form a supply chain network. We also present how persistence is handled for instantiating supply chain network simulations from a database. Finally, we present a small example simulation to validate and illustrate the concepts.

A review and critique on integrated production–distribution planning models and techniques
TL;DR: A comprehensive review and critique on the current integrated production-distribution (P-D) planning and optimisation literature is provided in this paper, where the authors classify the published P-D planning models into seven categories based on their degree of complexity and hence capability in addressing real-life scenarios.

A multi-formalism architecture for agent-based, order-centric supply chain simulation
TL;DR: This architecture allows for a natural, realistic representation of different supply-chain constructs and subsystems while following a consistent overall viewpoint, and provides efficient representation of concurrent supply- chain activities in a manner that avoids preemption.

Modeling Supply Chain Dynamics: A Multiagent Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a supply chain modeling framework designed to overcome the time and effort required to develop models with sufficient fidelity to the actual supply chain of interest, which is essential to perform risk-benefit analysis of reengineering alternatives before making a final decision.
Supply‐Chain Management: The Industrial Organisation Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of vertical integration and obligational contracts are discussed, and it is concluded that supply chain management is a way of combining many of the advantages of both types of contracts while overcoming some of their disadvantages.
