| Summary: | In order to understand the dynamic behavior of the variables that can play a major role
in the performance improvement in a supply chain, a System Dynamics-based model is
proposed. The model provides an effective framework for analyzing different variables
affecting supply chain performance. Among different variables, a causal relationship
among different variables has been identified. Variables emanating from performance
measures such as gaps in customer satisfaction, cost minimization, lead-time reduction,
service level improvement and quality improvement have been identified as goal-seeking
loops. The proposed System Dynamics-based model analyzes the affect of dynamic
behavior of variables for a period of 10 years on performance of case supply chain in
auto business. |
