Abstract :
This paper addresses the on-going work of integrating supply chain research into the graduate curriculum in the form of a supply chain modeling course. This course integrates research from Oklahoma State University, the University of Arkansas, and the University of Pittsburgh. In this course, the students and the professor develop and implement supply chain models and tools that combine linear optimization and simulation. This paper focuses on the simulation development in the course.
