Simulation aims to create a computer model of a real world scenario and mimic the behavior of a system as closely as possible. Since most supply chain planning decisions are either time or capital intensive, they are ideal candidates for simulation modeling. Simulation allows organizations to develop and test a range of different systems at a fraction of the cost and within a fraction of the time required to develop real systems.

Harapa’s Simulation platform allows organizations to create a number of simulation models using different methods like:

• Discrete Event Simulation
• System Dynamics
• Agent Based Simulation

Simulation models can be developed for a range of applications such as:

• Supply Chain Network simulation
• Traffic Flow Simulation
• Route Simulation
• Manufacturing operations simulation
• Inventory simulation
