Net-Centric Supply Chain Management Based on Interoperable Simulation

Description

Netcentric Management is an interesting concept, born in military environment, that today is very promising in supply chain management for its contribution in term of robustness and risk management; in this context it is possible to develop a real distributed control system and to share available resources and information of logistics networks; however the effective development of these concepts is strictly related to the creation of interoperable simulators dynamically integrated in the Supply Chain. In this context M&S (Modelling & Simulation) is the real technology enabler for moving these interesting concepts to real competitiveness advantage. This paper presents the use of simulation as tool for policy re-engineer and decision support system in the netcentric supply chain management.by proposing advanced solutions under experimentation in this area.
