Abstract
The objective of the proposed hybrid simulation modeling framework is to improve the understanding and operation of medicine supply chains, to strengthen their resilience to ensure the availability of medicines. The framework draws upon hybrid simulation, supply chain resilience and medicine supply chain literature. The utility of the proposed framework is presented through the development of a case model of a generic (off-patent) case medicine in the Norwegian system to perform scenario-based experiments on disruption events and interventions. Two disruption scenarios are evaluated a demand shock e.g., hoarding, and a supply shock, e.g., a major disruption at a key supplier. The effect of these disruptions on the system without interventions is compared with proactive and reactive interventions, namely prepositioned stock, and flexible ordering. Future directions for framework development have been identified.

The asymptotic covariance matrix and its use in simulation studies
Foldnes, Njål; Grønneberg, Steffen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The asymptotic performance of structural equation modeling tests and standard errors are influenced by two factors: the model and the asymptotic covariance matrix Γ of the sample covariances. Although most simulation studies ... -
Covariance Model Simulation Using Regular Vines
Grønneberg, Steffen; Foldnes, Njål (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We propose a new and flexible simulation method for non-normal data with user-specified marginal distributions, covariance matrix and certain bivariate dependencies. The VITA (VIne To Anything) method is based on regular ... -
Simulated reality: A intersubjective belief in the construct of ‘leadership’-
Jensen, Carl Michael; Michalsen, Martin (Master thesis, 2019)This thesis will investigate the construct of ‘leadership’ from a social constructivism perspective. Which interpretations does this construct have, and does the meanings given to the construct differ from an academician ...
