Today, companies don't compete only with other companies but rather, the companies' supply chains compete with other supply chains. Thus, the interests and competitiveness of a single company depends on several other entities that are part of its supply chain. To be successful in the current market place all operations have to be integrated to benefit from economies of scale and specialization. It's easy to see the complexity and effect of variability when planning and running such systems as today's supply chains.

The major areas that must be considered in a supply chain are: demand planning, master planning, procurement, transportation and manufacturing. All these areas have their specific peculiarities and inherent challenges. Analytic methods become inefficient and faulty when trying to devise models that incorporate all these issues. However, technology helps us in many functional areas of a supply chain like: planning, design, optimization, communication. One of the most helpful tools is simulation, which enables us to analyze complex systems interactions, evaluate design decisions, track key performance indicators and make informed decisions considering all the complexity and variability associated with a supply chain.
