Subject : Dynamic Systems (Industrial/Systems Engineering)

In this Dynamic Systems project, you will create a dynamic systems model for inventory control in an automobile supply chain.

Consider a supply chain consisting of 3 phases: A factory, a wholesaler, and a retailer. Customers place orders at the retailer. The retailer, in turn, orders cars from the wholesaler, and the wholesaler orders cars from the factory. There is a delay in each phase of the order.

You should make the following assumptions about the system dynamics:

Customer orders initially arrive at a rate of 5 per day, then change to a rate of 10 per day after 30 days.

There is a 5-day delay for the wholesaler to deliver a car to the retailer, once it is ordered.

There is a 4-week delay for the factory to produce and deliver a car to the wholesaler, once it is ordered.

The retailer, wholesaler, and factory each have a target inventory of 100 cars

Problem Question to Answer: Create a Simulink model (as a Block Diagram) for the supply chain scenario described in the project (include at least 2 stages of the supply chain), and show sample results.
