🧪 Supply Chain Digital Supply Chain Simulation

Interactive 3D supply chain simulator: control how fast order data travels (legacy EDI batch vs real-time ERP API) and watch its effect on required safety stock, reorder point and live stockout rate as goods and information flow between supplier and retailer.

This simulation isolates the one thing digital ERP systems actually change about a supply chain: how fast order information travels, not how fast trucks drive. A supplier and a retailer are connected by two parallel channels — a physical route that goods travel over the lead time L, and a data channel that order signals travel over the information lag I. Switch the digitization level from a legacy weekly EDI batch to a real-time API integration and watch the required safety stock, reorder point and simulated stockout rate respond in real time, with a live day-by-day inventory simulation running underneath to confirm the theoretical formula against actual random demand.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation demonstrates how digital technologies like ERP systems and data analytics are used to optimize supply chains. It illustrates the role of real-time information flow in improving efficiency and decision-making across various stages of the supply chain process. The focus is on leveraging technology for enhanced visibility and control.
