Generic logistics modeling with systems engineering

The ability to predict the supply and demand of country to global energy, water and resources is a challenge. Specific resource models have been researched for individual resource logistics but with limitations on interdependencies, country and global infrastructure, supply and demand models and other constraints. This research focuses on the application of systems engineering together with agent based models, developing country specific supply and demand networks, extending into a potential global model. These networks are adopted as a multi-variable conduit with the ability to predict demand of various resources. The country specific network is classified so as to deliver logistics based on demand. Various scenarios together with optimization propositions are developed. A country specific, forward prediction model is delivered based on growth rates and country specific future change. Key considerations include the ability to link supply, demand and country specific networks. The network classifications together with input and output models are crucial to resolution of the challenge.
