This textbook introduces readers to the principles of business process and supply chain simulation modeling using the AnyLogic multimethod simulation software. However, the book is not a software manual; instead, it reinforces the fundamental concepts of process analysis and supply chain management through simulation models while simultaneously teaching the process of simulation modeling. Complex statistical and mathematical derivations are kept to a minimum, while managerial decision-making is emphasized. Simulation games are introduced as an engaging way to comprehend system structures.The book is divided into four parts, each with the same format: presenting a motivating case study, developing technical models, providing step-by-step instructions for building AnyLogic simulation models and KPI dashboard design, using the models for classroom games and decision-making, and discussing possible extensions for assignments or advanced studies.The book is intended for undergraduate and master’s students in supply chain and operations management, as well as their instructors. Although some mathematical notation is necessary, the content has been carefully selected for readers without an engineering or mathematics background. Readers are encouraged to build models while reading, with the models becoming increasingly complex. Upon completing the book, readers will have learned how to create their own simulation models using popular software, gained a deeper understanding of operational and supply chain management concepts, and attained the proficiency needed to apply key performance metrics for managerial decision-making.

This book is about supply chain viability. A viable supply chain possesses the requisite variety and feedback mechanisms to adapt and respond to multiple future scenarios without knowing them in advance, ensuring both performance and the persistence of purpose. Viability views supply chains more as living organisms and less as engineered mechanisms. This expands the purpose of the supply chain from an operational asset focused on cost efficiency to a strategic integrator of business, society, and ecosystems of regenerative value creation. The book examines fundamental questions about how resilience and viability can be designed into supply chains.To address these questions, the book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on supply chain management, industrial engineering, cybernetics and control, systems science, and biology. It offers a rich combination of foundational knowledge, practical frameworks, implementation guidelines, and philosophical reflections. At its heart, the book is about increasing business value through adaptability and equipping supply chains and ultimately society with the capabilities needed to survive and thrive in deep uncertainty. This book is not about perfection; it is about purpose. If you find missing connections or structures, feel free to create them, because life is not about rigid frameworks but about meaningful adaptation. This is a book about us.
