Systems Analysis Using Simulation
扩展了系统分析方法的分类，重点探讨仿真方法，并围绕供应链管理讨论建模、运行及结果分析中的问题，指出仿真能力提升的同时误读风险也在增加。
This article offers an expanded classification of methodologies used in systems analysis. Of these methods, one in particular—simulation—is explored in some detail. Issues associated with building and running a model, as well as analyzing its results, are examined within the context of supply chain management. It is claimed that the ability to conduct simulation studies, along with the ease of misinterpreting their results, has greatly increased over time.
