Introduction

Modern supply chains operate in highly complex and uncertain environments where traditional analytical methods alone are often insufficient to predict outcomes or manage disruptions effectively. Dynamic simulation provides a powerful approach to visualise, test, and optimise supply chain and logistics systems in a virtual environment before applying changes in real operations.

This training course introduces participants to the principles and practical applications of dynamic simulation in supply chain design, planning, and risk management. It enables professionals to model real-world logistics networks, evaluate alternative scenarios, and understand the impact of operational decisions on performance, cost, and service levels.

By using simulation-based thinking, participants can identify bottlenecks, test improvement strategies, and enhance decision-making across inventory, transportation, warehousing, and distribution systems.

This Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics training course will highlight:

Key Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics training course, participants will be able to:

Training Methodology

This training course is highly practical and hands-on, using industry-standard simulation tools and software to model real-world supply chain systems. Participants will be guided step-by-step through building simulation models, running scenario analyses, and interpreting outputs.

The methodology includes interactive demonstrations, guided software exercises, case studies, and applied modelling tasks based on real supply chain data. Participants are encouraged to simulate their own operational challenges to gain practical insights and actionable solutions.
