How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duddy, D., Weaver, M., & Stantchev, D. (2017, September). How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains. Paper presented at Annual Conference of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, Logistics Research Network (LRN)

Purpose
This research develops a model similar to that used in Forrester’s ‘Beer Distribution Game’ to understand where uncertainty is generated in humanitarian supply chains. It examines the extent to which the Bullwhip Effect impacts upon a humani... Read More about How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains.

Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice
Preprint / Working Paper
Weaver, M. Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice

Evaluating supply chain problems is important yet complex; with vast amount of research and practice using a simulation based approach. However, the least understood aspect of a simulation study is the critical step of ‘conceptual modelling’. This pa...
