Inventory Model v2.0 adds production and order lead time. As well as the ability to keep track if parts are on order for a production run. See also: Inventory Model v3.0.

When we address situations we tend to do so with myopic limited awareness of the real nature of the situation and our actions tend to produce unintended consequences which make the situation worse or create other problems that have to be dealt with by us or others.

This is the demo project used for the 19.05.21 introduction to Insight Maker Simulation internet session.

The Accidental Adversaries structure represents a situation where two interacting entities which should produce growth unwittingly limit the growth of each other because of their actions to promote their own growth. See also Archetypes.
