Module 4 - SLP
Assessing SC Performance
Assignment Overview
Simulation Software Application
Download a free educational version of AnyLogic Personal Learning Edition (PLE). Run through the Supply Chain GIS Model tutorial to understand how the software functions. Your project will be to explain how the software works.
BONUS: Download the free book from the software. (AnyLogic in Three Days: Modeling and Simulation Textbook). It may come in handy when you have an opportunity to spend time learning how to use the software.
SLP Assignment
Under “Getting Started,” click “open examples” and select one of the Supply Chains and Logistics Models.
- Provide a background on the simulation (1/2 page).
- Include a screenshot of the chosen simulation.
While in the example simulation, find the toolbar and click Model, then Run. Run one Simulation and one Optimization. To begin the animated simulation, click the “play” button (arrow).
- Provide a background on the simulation run (1/2 page).
- Include a screenshot of the simulation result.
- Provide a background on the optimization run (1/2 page).
- Include a screenshot of the optimization result.
Based on what you have learned throughout class, how does modeling help the supply chain manager? (1 ½ pages).
This section must include research comparable to that used in other modules of this course. Support your points with research. This is not about your opinion.
Effective academic and research writing requires a third-person voice. This SLP will be written in third person. Do not use any quotations. Refer to yourself in third-person as “researcher” or you can write about what the “management team” will do, rather than saying “I” and “we.” Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” for Assignment-Driven Criteria, Critical Thinking, and Assignment Organization and Quality of References on the grading rubric.
