Biomassweb Project: Model on general structure of material information and money flows by Kai Neumann

Money for farmers Input Farmer Money for Processors Money for retailers Food security Yields (different crops from different farm types) Processes, storage, wholesale and transport market factors consultants (processors, support organizations) The right choices (who gets information?) infrastructure Agricultural, climate, weather factors Price Input Processors Social factors measures synergies with other crops Non-Food Use and Exports Direct marketing Own consumption Retail Food margins of players Import of crops

This qualitative model should prepare our workshops in Africa as it shows the general structure of the more detailed models. The detailed models then should - create ownershop of the stakeholders involved in the project with ZEF - provide a better understanding (KNOW WHY Method) how to improve the biomass based value webs - teach explorative qualitative modeling

This quantitative model is a small excerpt from a 1000+ factors model of a larger project. It allows to simulate the changes of a job market due to changes of available jobs or people seeking for jobs, people choosing to work only part time and a larger part of pensioners. While it would be fairly easy to model it through a classic system dynamics stock and flow structure it was fairly challenging to try it with the iMODELER's possibility to use stocks without delays. That is also the reason why I tried ...

Iranian crisis and Israel's influence by Emma

Threat of secret or later development Leaving Israel out of the negotiations Israel not willing to compromise Interest in stabilizing the region Interests in Iranian economy and oil Support from elsewhere??? Pressure from conservative Jews Pressure mainly from US republicans Allowing peaceful use of nuclear energy Lifting sanctions Support for moderate Iranian government International agreement with Iran Sanctions Failure of sanctions and control Israel's dominance Support for fundamentalists Terrorist attacks Nuclear weapons in Iran Threat from fundamentalists Peace in the middle east International control Economic relations with Iran

Motivated by the growing critique from the US republicans I have started a model on the deal with Iran. Am I missing something? If you want I might share a collaborative link on the pinboard.

Paris: Governments acting on climate change by Kai Neumann

Lowering emissions Protection of sinks (forests etc.) CO2 taxation Measures against climate change schools, communities etc. should want to become heroes media has to ask for heroes The politicians need to become heroes information by NGOs, media, schools etc. Pressure towards measures from voters International fonds Long term savings from less fossile fuels Agitation against initiatives Increase of costs Pressure against measures from voters United international initiatives Fear of competitive disadvantages Less income Pressure from lobbyists Buying/not selling forests etc. Limitation of emissions Carbon emissions trading Measurement of per capita improvement

A qualitative model that asks what it takes to take political action. Feel free to add to it.

PiM: Demo model for modeling supply chains and optimal inventories 2 by Kai Neumann

Material costs Costs of unsatisfied customer Overdue orders Usual duration of process Cost of overdue orders Costs of storage Discount for volumes of 10 Price of product Fulfilled orders Costs of resources Process Material List price of material Resource for process Amount expected to be needed in delivery time Orders to be processed Incoming orders Amount per order Overall benefit Delivery time for orders of material Storage costs Ordering material

This is a small example model that shows how to use normal factors and delays to model delivery times (so you do not always have to use PiM factors); how to identify the optimal quantity of orders and how to identify the optimal number of resources. Do not hesitate to ask for more explanations or some variations of the model :-)

A solution for Ghana's and probably other country's future by Kai Neumann

tourism processing of local crops jobs labor intensive farming other factors like security and health meaningful life food security Happy people of Ghana export of food and non-food strong economy solar energy intact forests paying for plastic collection establishing recycling using melted plastic instead of wood reusable packaging or bioplastics developing a railway system polluted air transportation from remote areas plastic garbage everywhere Power to Liquid/Gas facilities direct cash transfer instead of other aid

Just returned from a science/business trip from Ghana - this time also visiting some 'hinterland' as well as tourist attractions. Great people (I mean that) and potentially a great country as well. They have the beaches, the forests even near the beaches, they speak English, they have great local food, and at least in the south it was despite dry season extremely green. But for the first time in my life I wasn't willing to jump into the ocean - too much garbage in it. I wasn't jogging - too much polluti...
