Abstract

This chapter considers and solves the construction of a flow diagram and the subsequent simulation of a traditional supply chain with three levels; final customer, retailer and manufacturer; using the Vensim® software. Given the complexity of the model, flow diagrams, scheduling and the required patterns have been added so that the reader can solve and reproduce the model considered.
