Abstract

Abstract

A beer game model was developed with Matlab/Simulink software, it was simulated with computer. Through this model, the influence of order delay on logistic system inventory was analyzed, the effect of different procurement plans on beer game was researched. It is pointed out that the order delay is the main reason for bullwhip effect in beer game, if sellers pay too much attention to the inventory, the bullwhip effect will be aggravated, and the logistic cost will be in-creased. The results show that the Matlab/Simulink simulation technique is efficient for analyzing logistic system.
