Abstract
A service chain visualization system graphically displays diverse supply chain information such as demand information, new buy information, defective returns information, out for repair information, good inventory information and bad inventory information. The display includes historical, present, and future supply chain information. In at least one embodiment, the system allows a user to change a supply chain attribute and observe the potential impact on other supply chain attributes. In at least one embodiment, the system graphically collectively displays results that are readily understandable by the user.
