Provided is a supply chain evaluation system, in which supply chain planning is formulated according to a simulation time control, and a flow of physical distribution from procurement via production and shipment through a client is simulated based on the supply chain planning, which are repeated during a simulation time. In the supply chain evaluation system, after the supply chain planning and after a physical distribution calculation processing, an inventory volume is calculated for each problem, and presented along with inventory transition. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain effects of SCM measures through a simulation not only in a form of an inventory waveform but also by outputting an inventory volume after calculating the inventory volume for each inventory occurrence factor (problem structure).
A supply chain evaluation system being executed by a computer, in which, based on data obtained by modeling a supply chain corresponding to business activities for supplying goods to customers on a computer, a simulation is performed to evaluate reform effects when a supply chain model thus obtained is changed,
A supply chain evaluation method being executed by a computer system, in which, based on data obtained by modeling a supply chain corresponding to business activities for supplying goods to customers on a computer, performs a simulation to evaluate reform effects when a supply chain model thus obtained is changed, the supply chain evaluation method comprising:
A computer program which causes a computer to function as a supply chain evaluation system, in which a simulation is performed based on data obtained by modeling a supply chain corresponding to business activities for supplying goods to customers on the computer, to evaluate reform effects when a supply chain model thus obtained is changed,
