The development of a dynamic supply chain analysis tool-Integration of SCOR and discrete event simulation

This paper reports on the ongoing work to integrate the SCOR methodology and a discrete event simulation tool. SCOR is basically used to study the static operations of a supply chain. However, there is also a need to study the dynamic effects e.g. of changes in production rate, poor quality in raw materials, and other effects related to the “bullwhip” behaviour of a supply chain.
