THE OPERATIVE METHODOLOGY FOR COMMODITY SUPPLIES MANAGEMENT WITH THE USE OF SIMULATION
The present article concentrates on the investigation of the operational control of commodity supplies with the use of simulation. Proposed methods allow to determine an optimum mix and a quantity of goods to be ordered for the next realization in the light of many factors. In addition, the developed methodology permits to consider the limitation of financial resources. Besides that authors propose to make relationship between various product features and a system of commodity supplies management, which is one of the elements of a balanced score card. This correlation will ensure the consummation of the strategic business objectives through the maximally effective commodity supplies management. For the purpose of proposed methods the authors developed an algorithm which takes into account the probabilistic quantity demanded for the planning period along with the commodity stocks remainder for the opening and the ending periods.
