Large-Scale Supply Chain Simulation for Economic Stability

Graduate School of Information Science

When a pandemic, disaster, international conflict, or other such event causes a disruption in the flow of goods, it leads to further production halts for items that rely on those raw materials. This disruption spreads like a chain reaction, eventually causing damage to the entire economy. This phenomenon is increasing year by year and poses a major threat to the world.
In this study, we use the Fugaku supercomputer and other computational systems to simulate the activities of numerous companies. Through these simulations, we aim to explore effective countermeasures to mitigate the impact of such economic shocks.
