Contents:
Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1. A static versus a dynamic view of supply chains -- 2. The dynamics of the supply process for high- value spare parts -- 3. The dynamics of multitier, multichannel supply chains -- 4. Using system dynamics to evaluate a push-pull inventory optimization strategy for multitier, multichannel supply chains -- 5. Using system dynamics to estimate reductions in life-cycle costs arising from investments in improved reliability -- 6. The role of overhaul in reducing life- cycle costs and maximizing the return on investments to improve reliability -- 7. Future supply chains and system dynamics -- Notes -- References -- Index.
Abstract: Almost everything made today is manufactured by large networks of companies. Hundreds, if not thousands, of companies provide components, subassemblies, and major assemblies to a final manufacturer or integrator. These large distributed supply chains have created many problems and headaches across a variety of industries.
