Findings – The paper finds that it is possible to assist managers in thinking about adding value for supply chains. Research limitations/implications – The study period interval in data collection may have influenced the variance in responses and therefore should be considered a limitation. Practical implications – The ability to customize the simulator's parameters to represent value creation makes it a powerful tool for managers when deciding to rely on service supply chain. Originality/value – This paper presents main elements required for enhancing value creation for all supply chain parties.
