Abstract
A method and system for determining supply chain service area by simulating service cycle time. A plurality of simulation parameters including stochastic factors are used with a supply chain simulation model. The supply chain simulation model is run repeatedly and generated simulated data is analyzed to determine service cycle time. The service cycle time is used to compute service area for a facility.
