Paul Caunce Doncaster, UK I would consider the most important stocks and flows for Doncaster to be: People, Information, Materials, Finance In this case, Doncaster is a small formally industrial town, with significant urban deprivation. It has a stock of people that are able to generate value in a supply chain, by using their current, or future learned skills. Flow of information is required from urban planners, developers and corporations who make investments in the currently, low-cost area, in order that they may be aware of the opportunities for employment and required skills and training for those jobs. New infrastructure and commercial buildings are being constructed utilizing a combination of local material stocks from Doncaster’s mineral deposits and flows of material imported to meet the construction demands. All of the investment in infrastructure and buildings as well as future employment opportunities requires a significant flow of capital into the town. Once investments have been made and employment rises, Doncaster’s stock of capital may increase, which may in turn have an effect on other stocks and flows of materials for example.
