Sensitivity Analysis of Parameters

In order to test the effect of changed parameters of the model on the total cost of the supply chain at each stage in plan period T, we analyze the sensitivity of the various parameters for suppliers, manufacturers and customers respectively. Taking the values of the parameters in experiment 1 (Fig. 4.5) as a benchmark, increase the parameters value of suppliers, manufacturers and customers respectively from the benchmark by 5, 10 and 15 % in turn (Minus sign implies decrease). As one parameter changes, all the other parameters value keep the same. The simulation results are shown in Tables 4.29, 4.30 and 4.31. 

From Table 4.29 we can draw the following conclusions Smm i) is weakly positive correlated to the total cost, indicating that the model is not sensitive to the change and are positive correlated to the total cost, indicating that the
