🍯 Honey Supply Chain & Logistics Lab

A 3D hive-to-shelf logistics simulation for a honey business — tune harvest rate, truck capacity, dispatch frequency and retail demand, and watch warehouse stock, delivery trucks and shelf availability respond live.

A 3D hive-to-shelf logistics model: honey jars are harvested at the apiary, buffered in a warehouse, dispatched by truck on a schedule, and sold from a retail shelf — with stockouts and overstock visible the moment supply and demand fall out of step.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Warehouse stock rises with harvest rate and falls with truck dispatches; shelf stock rises with deliveries and falls with retail demand. Mismatches between these rates show up as overflowing storage or a flashing "out of stock" light.

🎮 How to Use

Adjust harvest rate, truck capacity, dispatch interval and retail demand, then watch the crate stack, delivery trucks and shelf jars respond. Toggle supplier disruption to test how buffer stock absorbs an unreliable harvest.

💡 Did You Know?

Many small UK honey businesses size their warehouse buffer around a single big summer extraction, since one harvest can supply months of steady retail sales if storage and dispatch logistics are planned well.
