Abstract
This paper describes a novel simulation framework that integrates discreteevent modeling with system-dynamics modeling. The former has strength in system performance evaluation; meanwhile, the later has an advantage of representing feedback mechanisms in complex systems. We are currently developing a hybrid-modeling framework, which combines discrete-event modeling with system dynamics modeling. The objectives of this framework are: (1) to simulate feedbacks of supply-chain activities in social system mechanisms, (2) to enable management simulation in long time terms, and finally (3) to clarify requirement specifications towards supply-chain management gaming. This paper summarizes this framework and represents application examples.
