The 2nd Asia-Pacific Region System Dynamics Conference of the System Dynamics Society were held at UTown, National University of Singapore. The theme for this conference is Charting a Path to a Humane and Sustainable Future: Asia’s Leadership Role. The conference brought together various disciplines that have been using Systems Thinking, System Dynamics and Systems Engineering approach in understanding and solving problems. The conference seeks to popularize and extend systems thinking and System Dynamics modelling in the Asia-Pacific Region by facilitating interactions between practitioners from the region and around the world, introducing newcomers to the field, and keeping practitioners aware of current developments.

Indonesia is aware to the carbon dioxide gas emission issue. There are a few technologies that have been used to reduce the emission, such as: using the alternative energy which produce cleaner emission than CO2, using a cleaner technology (in transportation), reducing the use of fossil fuel, etc. Carbon capture and storage technology is still new in Indonesia, and there is no enough information and study on it. The researcher in Universitas Indonesia (majoring Industrial Engineering) helps to find the answer to this new technology. Is Indonesia ready for new technology?

Is Indonesia Ready for New Technology in Reducing CO2 Emission? « Systems Engineering Modelling and Simulation Green house gases (GHG) emission is one of the environmental issues that hasn’t been resolved and continued to increase annually. Carbon dioxide gas is known as the largest contributor for GHG emissions. This environmental issue also happens in Indonesia as a developing country which has focused on…

Have you ever thought about how your soft drinks, or your lotion, could arrive in the shelf even before you need it? That effort to make sure you get what you want when you step into the store is called Supply Chain Management (SCM). SCM is indeed important not only for customers, but also for the company. Every company tries to manage its supply chain efficiently and effectively, as SCM alone costs 30% – 70% of the total of production cost. However, managing a supply chain is not an easy job to do.

In order to enhance the knowledge of SCM, especially for students, SEMS researchers have created a SSG named H2! Supply Chain Management Game.

Transfering the Complex Knowledge of Supply Chain Management through Serious Simulation Games « Systems Engineering Modelling and Simulation “A game could makes you forget that you are actually learning. Packaging a very complicated and complex reality in to a simple learning tool is what Serious Simulation Game designed for.”
