A Simulation-Based Approach to Understanding Alternative Supply Chain Configurations

在这个项目中开发的研究具有价值，更广泛的澳大利亚社会，因为它将导致决策支持系统的配置更具战略性，成本效益和效率的供应链的发展。该项目中开发的建模技术以及在大规模实验和调查技术方面的重要培训和经验将有助于建立一个高质量的供应链研究中心。该项目中使用的决策支持系统和其他技术具有商业化的潜力，有利于澳大利亚的商业。

The research developed in this project has value to the broader Australian community because it will lead to the development of a decision support system for configuring more strategic, cost effective and efficient supply chains. The modelling techniques developed in the project together with the crucial training and experience in large scale experimental and survey techniques will help to establish a high quality centre for supply chain research. The decision support system and other techniques utilised in the project have potential for commercialisation for the benefit of Australian commerce.
