ViaSim Solutions presented an exciting re-imagination of the classic Beer Game* system dynamics example at the 2009 International System Dynamics Conference in Albuquerque New Mexico. The presentation illustrates the power of the SimBLOX platform and the ability of ViaSim Solutions to execute on developing innovative and powerful models. The following files are free and available for download for those that missed the presentation or that wanted to explore the power of our solutions in greater depth.
BGOS is powered by SimBLOX Model Creator, an agent-based simulation framework that enables macro-level creation and manipulation of system dynamics and any other types of models. Visit the SimBLOX page for information on the SimBLOX methodology.
* The Beer Game On Steroids uses Dr. John D. Sterman’s basic “widget” model from Chapter 18 of his book Business Dynamics: Systems Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World (McGraw-Hill, 2000, ISBN-13: 978-0-07-231135-8, ISBN-10: 0-07-231135-5) as the fundamental “agent” model.

SimBLOX Methodology
SimBLOX greatly simplifies the creation of macro-models. SimBLOX uses a drag-drop-connect interface that allows the user to work with "icons" that represent entire models or submodels. Thus, the user is not burdened with copying and pasting model structure.
