Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapters, case studies on system dynamics modelling of boom and bust of cocoa production systems in Malaysia, modelling of hilsa fish population in Bangladesh and modelling of food security in Malaysia have been presented. This chapter presents the application of system dynamics modelling to supply chain of rice milling systems to demonstrate how to construct system dynamics models and simulate these models for policy planning and design. The model presented is an illustration of modelling and simulation of practical problem to provide management scenarios and policy options, and such experiences are essential to face the challenge of modelling and simulation of dynamic systems in practice. To achieve these goals, the model of this case study is organised as follows: (1) introduction, (2) dynamic hypothesis, (3) causal loop diagram, (4) stock–flow diagram, (5) model validation, (6) simulation and policy analysis and (7) conclusion. The model is simulated to address supply chain management scenarios and design the policy options for efficient and sustainable supply chain management of rice milling systems in Bangladesh to ensure the availability of rice to the consumers in an economic manner under uncertainty. The model has the potential to identify and study the critical components of the overall supply chain, allowing for the creation of an efficient and sustainable network.
