...Erma Suryani; Rully Agus Hendrawan; Philip Faster Eka Adipraja; Arif Wibisono; Lily Puspa Dewi Purpose This paper aims to address the urban mobility and traffic congestion problem under environmental dynamics to improve mobility and reduce traffic congestion using system dynamics (SD) simulation...

..., e.g. a patented pharmaceutical. In particular, the study evaluates performance effects of different inventory level policies. The paper considers different degrees of availability of a substitute product. Design/methodology/approach The study uses simulation experiments based on system dynamics...

...Federico Barnabè; Pål I Davidsen Purpose This study aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on behavioral operational research (BOR), specifically discussing the potential of system dynamics (SD) models to analyze decision-making heuristics. In more detail, the study suggests using an SD model...

...Omogbai Oleghe Purpose This study aims to describe in detail, a system dynamics-based study that was used to show how a large vertically integrated aquaculture company should approach its stepwise capacity expansion program, without undermining its financial performance or affecting...

Design/methodology/approach In this research, the system dynamics methodology was applied to the study of the growth of 3PL industry in Singapore. A population growth model...

.... The use of system dynamics modelling in a waste collection company offered an effective contribution to support decision makers to overcoming myopic decisions. Design/methodology/approach Literature review and a case study analysis (including interviews with company actors and data gathering) offered...

... relationships among these variables. Design/methodology/approach The ‘dynamic’ VoFI model is developed through System Dynamics (SD) modelling to enhance the strength of the VoFI concept as an instrument for visualising the financial implications of investments in IT and IS at the corporate level. Case study...

... hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets to identify the key factors of supply chain resilience. At the second phase, using the system dynamic methodology, the dynamic relations among identified resilience factors are analyzed. Findings Using the Delphi method, agility, collaboration among actors, sharing...

.../approach This study uses system dynamics (SD) as the central modeling method for which Vensim® is used as a tool for hybrid simulation. Further, the authors used MATLAB for undertaking fuzzy logic modeling and constructing a fuzzy inference system that is later on incorporated into SD model...

... the attributes, and later, the causality between these variables was established using structural equation modelling (SEM). These relationships between the factors helped in developing a robust system dynamic model for strategic management of technical universities. Findings – The peak points...

.... In the “shifting the burden” archetype, decision-makers fail to identify the fundamental solution early and are subjected to accumulated side effects as they resort to quick remedial solutions. Design/methodology/approach – A system dynamics-based game has been built to highlight the pitfalls of “shifting...
