Development of web-based simulator for supply chain management

Designing and planning of supply chain network (SCN) is one of the most important decisions to be made in dynamic business environment. Under today´s dynamic circumstances, SCN is too complex to allow realistic models to be evaluated analytically. For this reason, we have developed a new simulator. This simulator provides most of the features needed to build a simulation model and can be accessed through the Internet. Java Server Page is used to allow users to run this simulator through the internet, and MS-SQL is incorporated to save the computational results and input data.
