An example for simulation studies of a supply chain node is developed. Highlights of failure avoidance (FA) ? as a paradigm to enhance simulation studies? is given. Some cases of the application of FA to enhance supply chain node simulation studies are enumerated. It is worth exploring the potential of FA as explained in detail by Ören and Yilmaz (2009) to extend ways to avoid failures in simulation studies and to enhance their usefulness.
