1. A machine-implemented method for simulating a supply chain for a product, the method comprising:
- receiving real-time information regarding delays from at least one link in a product supply chain;
simulating events in the product supply chain based on said received information; and
determining, based on said simulating, whether at least one of costs and level of service relative to the product is unacceptable.

Abstract
A machine-implemented method for simulating a supply chain for a product may include receiving real-time information regarding delays from at least one link in a product supply chain, simulating events in a supply chain based on the received information, and determining, based on the simulation, whether the costs and/or level of service relative to the product is unacceptable.
