A Research on Simulation Framework for the Advancement of Supplying Management Competency

Abstract

Various efforts to overcome the current crisis of shipbuilding industry have been being made in every area, including development, administration, and customer management. For overcoming the crisis, this study proposes a methodology to reconsider the supply management competency, which consists of production, procurement, and logistics, by the virtualization of Plan Do See (PDS) cycle using simulation technology and introduces a case study to verify the proposed methodology. The keys to the methodology are a comprehensive simulation framework including systematic analysis for the index investigated through simulation and a simulation platform for constructing a smooth input/output environment by avoiding dependencies on existing solutions. The systemized simulation framework is expected to maximize the speed and precision of decision-making regarding the supply management of shipyard and therefore eliminate waste elements that generate a large deficit.
