Simulation Modeling of the Sustainable Supply Chain
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In this article, author exploits simulation tool for showing sustainable supply chain benefits!
In lines 39, 40 and 41 the use of simulation model for showing the three dimensions combination benefits has to be more explained.
As described from line 42 to 45, in the paper, after a literature review, a simulation model has been directly presented, followed by experimentations, but nothing about concepts developed and exploited in this case. Authors have to add a part on concepts before presenting simulation model.
The sentence Authors… from line 53 to 54 has to be improved for facilitating the reading.
From line 57 to line 65, it is difficult to understand exactly what authors would like to show and its interest in sustainable supply chain benefits or simulation utilization! This part has to be explained in detail or removed.
The global literature review has to be oriented for focusing attention on sustainable supply chain and simulation.
A chapter could be presented before the simulation model chapter for explaining concepts developed by authors. The simulation model chapter is good. The last part concerning the experimentation could be changed into a new chapter and more detailed.
The objective of the authors in this paper is very good! Thanks to author to make improvement and the paper will be good!

Reviewer 2 Report
The research methodology used should be further explained. A broader review of the literature on sustainable supply chain should be made.Author Response
