Easy-SC: A Supply Chain Simulation Tool

To assist the decision makers, we develop a new supply chain simulation software: Easy-SC, a Java-based tool that simplifies the supply chain simulation. In its current state of development, Easy-SC is a modeling tool for assessing the pros and cons of new facility locations, resource allocations and different combinations of policies. It can be used in the modeling of small projects such as single inventory units to large-scale projects such as world wide supply chains. This paper introduces Easy-SC by an examination of its current software module architecture, modeling elements, basic features and simulation processes.
