You’ll remember that we’re using a common basic format for the project assignments in all modules—that is, simulations. Simulation Dynamics, Inc. is a vendor of simulation tools in a variety of problem areas, including transportation. For Insight Network Logistics (INL), the company developed VinLogic, a program to forecast transportation network performance for delivery of new automobiles from plants to dealers. VinLogic is a repeated-use model in its sixth year of ongoing use at INL.
For this module, review the product information for VinLogic® Supply-Chain Simulation Tool at the following link.

After reviewing the information, in a 2- to 3-page paper address the following issues:
Briefly describe what you learned about operations management—in particular transportation and delivery—from your review.
Briefly describe any ideas that occur to you as a result of thinking about the simulation tool in relation to the module topic and readings.
What do you think of computer-based simulations in general? (Address both pros and cons.) Of this model in particular?
