SCM Globe provides a platform for modeling and simulating real supply chains in six easy steps, involving the definition of products, facilities, vehicles, and routes. Users can simulate supply chain performance, identify points of failure, and optimize the system for better efficiency. The service also includes educational resources for students and instructors to enhance learning experiences in supply chain management.

Supply Chain Simulation in 6 Easy Steps
SCM GLOBE leverages Google Maps and enables you to model and simulate real
supply chains or design new ones. Here is the supply chain of a real company that
makes furniture in Indonesia and sells to customers around the world.

Create Supply Chains with Just Four Entities
- Name
- Cost
- Weight
- Volume
1. PRODUCTS
- Operating Cost
- Rent Cost
- Production/Demand
- Storage Capacity
2. FACILITIES
- Operating Cost
- Speed
- Carry Volume
- Carry Weight
3. VEHICLES
- Destinations
- Distance
- Product Delivery
- Product Pickup
4. ROUTES

Entities Create Simple, Accurate Models
• Define different combinations of products, facilities, vehicles and routes
• Place them on a map to create accurate supply chain models

STEP 1. Define the Products
Start by defining PRODUCTS in the supply chain – both finished goods and raw
materials. Enter name, volume, weight and cost information.

5. www.scmglobe.com 5
STEP 2. Define the Facilities
Define the FACILITIES in the supply chain – factories, warehouses, stores etc. – places
where products are made, stored or sold. Enter operating costs, production rates, daily
demand and on-hand inventory [zoom in, switch to satellite view and see actual facilities].

6. www.scmglobe.com 6
STEP 3. Define the Vehicles and Routes
Then define the VEHICLES and ROUTES used to move products from one facility to
another in order to meet demand. Specify delivery schedules and products dropped off
and picked up.

STEP 4. Simulate Supply Chain Performance
Run simulations of the supply chain and see how it performs. Get day-by-day data
displays showing on-hand inventory, operating costs and transportation costs for each
facility in the supply chain.

8. www.scmglobe.com 8
STEP 5. Find and Fix Points of Failure
Simulations show where and when the supply chain will fail and provide you with
information needed to fix those problems. Keep improving the design and simulating
the results until the supply chain meets desired performance level.

9. www.scmglobe.com 9
STEP 6. See Total Supply Chain Performance
See the big picture – understand how all the different supply chain entities work
together. Explore new designs to improve performance and manage risk as situations
change. Download your simulation data for further analysis as needed.
