In this paper we present approach for simulation of supply chain using a simulation package. The objective is to develop general modules for the simulation of supply chain, which can be used for simulation of complex supply chain. Simulation model has flexibility of using different ordering policies and different set of parameters for different nodes of supply chain. Numbers of simulation experiments are performed to generate knowledge. In particular, based on a cost and time performance analysis, the different configurations are analysed in order to support the selection of suitable polices and parameters of the operations network.
