Abstract

IBM General Business Simulation Environment (GBSE) is a supply chain simulation tool developed by IBM China Research Lab. It can capture supply chain dynamics with finest level of granularity and provides great insights to a supply chain's real operations. GBSE is designed for tactical level decision making; it is proper for supply chain what-if analysis and risk analysis. GBSE implements multiple supply chain processes to considerable details, such as order handling process, inventory control process, manufacturing process, transportation process, procurement process, and planning. The environment is created as a desktop software tool based on Eclipse platform. The backbone framework consists of Presentation Layer, Controller Layer, Service Layer, and Data Layer.
