EN This paper discusses issues related to the analysis of supply chains using multimodal approach. Author identifies the gap in the SCOR model, regarding the need for multimodal approach. Multimodal processes in the supply chain in the automotive industry are identified. The problem of just-in-sequence deliveries and suggesting a solution based on a simulation experiment is defined. In the paper the reasons which drove the choice of the tool to aid the analysis and improvement of multimodal processes are presented. Author shows the way of identifying multimodal processes in a supply chain (especially in logistics operators – logistics centers), defines the methods of solving practical problems in a multimodal network using simulation tools. At last, the structure of build model, tool construction and some of the experiments which were made on the simulation model are described.
