Supply Chain Simulator

Edit a distribution network, configure inventory controls, and run a deterministic daily simulation. The same seed and settings always produce the same outcomes.

Inventory: Locations reorder when stock plus outstanding orders reaches their reorder point. The simulator models stock availability, lane capacity and transport lead time.

Transport: Disruptions restrict departures during selected days; shipments already in transit are not delayed. Optional per-route lead variation adds 0–N days using the scenario seed. Competing routes share available upstream stock with rotating daily priority.

Files: Download a JSON project to edit later, CSV data to analyze, or a printable HTML report. Use your browser’s Print → Save as PDF command to create a PDF.

Limitations: Single product, one supplier, one upstream route per location, and lost sales (no backorders). No optimization or predictive claims. No collaborative editing.

Explore inventory and transportation decisions

PixelOkay Supply Chain Simulator models supplier replenishment, transportation capacity, distribution-center inventory, daily retail demand, stockouts, holding costs, and delivery lead times. Compare scenarios by changing the assumptions and downloading simulated data. All calculations are performed within your browser.

It is an educational, single-product approximation rather than an operations-research optimization engine or professional planning forecast.

Using Supply Chain Simulator

Edit a single-product distribution network, set demand and lane lead delays, capture a baseline, and compare seeded daily inventory scenarios.

Workflow

  1. Arrange the supplier, distribution, and store nodes for one SKU, then configure each lane and its lead delay.
  2. Set the daily demand, inventory, and allocation assumptions, run the deterministic simulation, and save a baseline for comparison.
  3. Change a scenario input, compare service, lost sales, inventory, routes, or costs, and export the daily or comparison report.

Worked example

Create a supplier-to-distribution-center-to-store network for one product, set a lane lead delay, and run a baseline with the current daily demand. Capture that baseline, then change the delay and compare inventory and lost-sales summaries under the same setup.

Limits and data handling

This is a deterministic, single-SKU lost-sales model with seeded demand and lane delays, not a general supply-chain forecast. Event order and rotating source allocation affect results; ID-sorted allocation can differ from earlier package versions despite compatible project JSON. Illustrative emissions factors are not validated carbon accounting. Compare scenarios with aligned assumptions and review lost sales and service context.

Frequently asked questions

Can I model several products at once?

No. The simulation models one SKU at a time with the supplied distribution network and demand assumptions.

Are scenario results forecasts of future inventory or emissions?

No. They are deterministic what-if outputs under the entered assumptions. Emissions factors are illustrative and are not validated carbon accounting.
