Abstract

Since plastic is considered an essential raw material for the production of several products, there is the opportunity to analyze the dynamic behavior of the supply chain management in Colombia. This paper argues that strategic modeling is an important measure to build confidence in a simulation model regardless of validity test. In order to analyze the main variables of the supply chain, the article shows a dynamic viewpoint to understand the relationship between the players. The aim of this paper is to explore and discuss the plastic-supply chain structure, and the guidelines for the strategic modeling through a stock-and-flow diagram of a system dynamics model. The major finding of this paper consists in an overview of the strategic modeling and drivers of a system dynamics model in supply chain management.
