Dear all,

I wonder if anybody can point me in the right direction for sources of
information/examples relevant to modelling supply chains.

I have just subscribed to this list and am new to system dynamics. I am
currently working on a project to map the supply chain process in my company
for one of our products. I have built a simple model to date and am about to
embark on taking it to a further level of detail. Currently , the model maps
the sales forecast for up to 2 years ahead driving through the ordering of
raw materials and production of the product to delivery to customers in
several different coutries. The data controlling the ordering, supply and
production is only lead times for each stage at present. I will need to
include aspects such as capacities, production rates, safety stocks, etc..

Any relevant information in this area, particuarly of how to create the
functions in "Stella" (I think) would be very useful to me as I attempt to
develop the model.

Many thanks in advance,

Neil Crawford
