| Abstract | ||||
| In today’s global market, it becomes essential for supply chains to adapt powerful management policies. These policies might be verified and validated before its implementation in the real world. Simulation is a powerful effective tool for this purpose, so that, the last decade offered different supply chain simulation types. This paper is concerned with a review of supply chain management (SCM) simulation types in the recent researches. In particular, four SCM simulation types are reviewed, spreadsheet, system dynamics (SD), discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS), and business games simulation types. The reviewed researches present great interest of SCM researchers in DEDS simulation among the four reviewed simulation types. | ||||
