Simulated Annealing for a supply chain
Simulate a supply chain live in your browser. This runs the real Simulated Annealing solver — adjust the inputs, watch it respond instantly, and export the result. No install, no account.

Presets
Simulated annealing borrows from metallurgy: at high temperature it accepts worse moves freely, letting it jump out of local minima; as it cools, it settles into the best valley it found. The acceptance probability exp(−ΔE/T) is the key. Cool too fast and it gets stuck; cool slowly and it finds the global optimum.

About this simulation
The full Simulated Annealing tool models a supply chain with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I simulate a supply chain?
- Open this page and use the live Simulated Annealing tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.
- Is it free?
- Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.
- Can I use my own numbers?
- Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a supply chain from your own measurements.
