Regarding food enterprise and other models:

The best reply to questions of this sort is to suggest obtaining a copy of
the system dynamics bibliography on disk. It is formulated in EndNote for
either the PC or the Mac and is available from the System Dynamics Society,
Julia Pugh, executive director, 49 Bedford Road, Lincoln, MA 01773, USA.

The bibliography is a wonderful resource! No system dynamics modeler,
scholar, or practitioner should be without it.

In answer to Bernard Teilings inquiry about food industry models, the
MIT system dynamics group (with the help of Jack Homer) developed a
management flight simulator that represents a consumer products firm
interacting with its market and competitors. Called the "F & B
Management Flight Simulator" (for Food and Beverage), the simulation
puts the user in charge of capacity, pricing, and promotions for a new
brand, in an environment with dynamic consumer behavior and competition.
Developed for one of the largest multinational consumer products
companies, the simulation comes, as do all the MIT SDG simulators, with
full briefing materials. Macintosh only, at present. Contact: Kelley
Donovan, <kdonovan@mit.edu> or 617/258-7579 (fax) for information.
