摘要
This article offers an expanded classification of methodologies used in systems analysis. Of these methods, one in particularsimulationis explored in some detail. Issues associated with building and running a model, as well as analyzing its results, are examined within the context of supply chain management. It is claimed that the ability to conduct simulation studies, along with the ease of misinterpreting their results, has greatly increased over time.
