Little is known about why such a diversity of supply chain structures exist. Simulating dynamic supply chain networks over extended periods using the multi-paradigm dynamic system simulator allows us to observe the emergence of different structures. The simulator is implemented using a software agent technology, where individual agents represent firms in a supply chain network. In this paper, we present an example scenario run on the simulator and the preliminary results that have been observed. This multi-paradigm tool provides a valuable investigation instrument for real life supply chain problems. %@ 0-7803-8132-7
