Abstract

The life cycle of a modelling and simulation process has two main parts: development, which includes initiation, design, construction, and testing; and application, which contains using and archiving. Modelling and simulation of logistics networks is divided into four main stages: modelling of logistic infrastructures using an agent based approach, modelling of logistic processes applying a dynamic based approach, modelling of demand variation using a probabilistic approach, and modelling of disturbances with an event driven approach. All these processes are described in Chapter 4 and form the basis to propose a general framework for evaluation of logistic networks operational risk and dependability in Chapter 5.

Learning by doing, peer-to-peer teaching, and computer simulation are all part of the same equation.
