Abstract
In today’s global market, it becomes essential for supply chains to adapt powerful management policies. These policies might be verified and validated before its implementation in the real world. Simulation is a powerful effective tool for this purpose, so that, the last decade offered different supply chain simulation types. This paper is concerned with a review of supply chain management (SCM) simulation types in the recent researches. In particular, four SCM simulation types are reviewed, spreadsheet, system dynamics (SD), discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS), and business games simulation types. The reviewed researches present great interest of SCM researchers in DEDS simulation among the four reviewed simulation types.
