Abstract :
A model of the supply chain based on color and stochastic Petri net is presented. Operational status of the supply chain system is analyzed with the certain structure and speed of supply goods by simulation of production and transportation. The model is decomposed further, and the performance of a supply chain model is calculated by means of isomorphic Markov chain, which avoids complexity of calculation from status exploding. An example through the paper illustrates how the supply chain system is affected by its structure and speed according to analysis qualitatively and quantitatively.
