Method transfer management structure

Even though conceptual frameworks of supply chain performance measurement help management in the decision-making in a supply chain context, there is no workable method available for a braod scope of application to forecast the effect of an SCI on the EVA. Existing applications of simulation merely address specific issues in the SCM context and are not suitable for different types of SCIs. At the same time, most qjproaches model two echelons of a supply chain and do not allow a transfer of the results along the supply chain. In summary, there is a lack of a quantification model for the value determination of SCIs that is applicable to a variety of SCIs whilst considering the specific structures of supply chains at the same time. The following chapter introduces a simulation model for the quantification of cost and capital commitment effects that is compatible to the conceptual framework of Chapter 4.
