Benefit/s of supply chain simulation is/are:

• A.To help understand the overall supply chain processes and characteristics by graphics/animation
• B.To minimize the risk of changes in planning process: by what-if simulation, user can test various alternatives before changing plan.
• C.To be able to capture system dynamics: using probability distribution, user can model unexpected events in certain areas and understand the impact of these events on the supply chain
• D.All of these

• A.Standardization
• B.Analyzing
• C.Applicability
• D.Benchmarking

In terms of structure and function, the construction supply chain is characterized by the following element/s:

• A.It is a converging supply chain directing all materials to the construction site where the object is assembled from incoming materials. The construction factory is set up around the single product, in contrast to manufacturing systems where multiple products pass through the factory, and are distributed to many customers.
• B.All of these
• C.It is a typical make-to-order supply chain, with every project creating a new product or prototype. There is little repetition, again with minor exceptions. The process can be very similar, however, for projects of a particular kind.
• D.It is, apart from rare exceptions, a temporary supply chain producing one-of construction projects through repeated reconfiguration of project organizations. As a result, the construction supply chain is typified by instability, fragmentation, and especially by the separation between the design and the construction of the built object.
