Application of Real-Time Simulation to Assign Due Dates on Logistic-manufacturing Networks

This paper presents the application of real-time simulation to assign due dates on logistic-manufacturing networks. Information from the manufacturing, transportation, and supplier elements was integrated into a simulation model of the system to help the assignment of reliable delivery dates. In addition, the system was used to generate multiple due date options so customers could pick the delivery speed and cost option that satisfied their specific needs.
