Introduction

Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics training course provides practical techniques for modelling, analysing, and improving supply chain and logistics systems through simulation-based decision-making.

Modern supply chains operate in increasingly complex and uncertain environments where conventional analytical methods may not fully capture operational risks, disruptions, or changing business conditions. Dynamic simulation enables organisations to evaluate supply chain performance in a virtual environment before implementing changes in real operations.

This training course introduces participants to the principles and practical applications of dynamic simulation within supply chain design, logistics planning, and risk management. Participants will learn how to model logistics networks, analyse alternative scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and evaluate operational decisions that impact performance, cost, and service levels.

Key focus areas of this Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics training course include:

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 follows a highly practical and hands-on learning approach using industry simulation tools and software to model real-world supply chain systems. Participants will develop simulation models, conduct scenario analyses, interpret results, and apply findings to operational challenges through demonstrations, guided exercises, case studies, and applied modelling activities.

FAQs

Dynamic simulation is a modelling technique that allows organisations to create virtual representations of supply chain systems and evaluate how they perform under different conditions. It supports better planning, optimisation, and decision-making by testing alternatives before implementing changes in real operations.

Participants will learn how to build simulation models, analyse supply chain performance, evaluate disruption scenarios, optimise inventory and transportation strategies, assess risks, and apply simulation tools to support operational and strategic decision-making.

Simulation helps organisations understand how decisions affect supply chain performance by modelling real-world scenarios and testing alternatives. It allows decision-makers to evaluate costs, service levels, risks, and operational impacts before committing resources to implementation.

Yes. The course examines supply chain risks, disruption scenarios, bullwhip effects, operational vulnerabilities, and contingency planning. Participants learn how simulation can be used to evaluate risk exposure and develop more resilient supply chain strategies.

Simulation enables organisations to analyse inventory policies, transportation strategies, fleet utilisation, warehouse operations, and network configurations under various conditions. This helps identify opportunities to reduce costs, improve service, and optimise resource utilisation.

This course is suitable for supply chain professionals, logistics managers, planners, analysts, consultants, operations managers, and risk specialists who are involved in supply chain design, logistics optimisation, performance improvement, and decision-making using analytical and simulation-based approaches.
