Abstract
Methods and systems for simulating fulfillment of digital orders within a retail supply chain are disclosed. One method includes receiving a selection of a first operational parameter of a supply chain model. The supply chain simulation model is a transaction-level model representative of a digital order fulfillment process within a retail supply chain network. The selection of the first operational parameter includes a default value for the first operational parameter and an experimental value for the first operational parameter that is different from the default value. Simulations of a set of predicted digital orders within the retail supply chain network, using the supply chain simulation model as modified in accordance with the first operational parameter, are performed. Scenario evaluations including predicted metrics associated with each of a cost, a capacity, and a guest experience for the digital order fulfillment process may be output and displayed on a user interface.
