This paper describes a design specification for a generic, supply-chain-simulation system. The proposed simulation system is based on schedule-driven and stock-driven control methods to support the supply chain management. The simulation system includes three processing modes: business process flows, material process flows, and information process flows. The paper also discusses interface data requirements for the proposed supply-chain-simulation system.

This paper describes requirements for an integrated supply chain system simulator with the focus on production activities within the system. This paper includes the following contents: (1) Identification of supply chain planning problems over various operational strategies, (2) Operational strategy for supply chain management, and (3) Requirements and design issues for a generic supply chain simulation system.
