ttt In this two-hour simulation, students must make key supply chain management decisions. Students walk away with an understanding of important concepts in the allocation of production resources across global supply chains. The simulation illustrates key concepts of supply chain management, such as: How to create a balanced supply chain across suppliers with different lead times (speculative vs. reactive capacity) How to build flexibility into the supply chain to avoid stock-outs and excess inventory (the newsvendor problem) How to evaluate and use demand forecasts

The Student Experience ttt The Student Experience For the rollout of two models of mobile phones, students take control of managing product design, procurement and production for four simulation years. They must also balance competitive priorities and create a supply chain that is flexible enough to react quickly to shifts in demand. Dynamic forecast and board discussions encourage students to think about the human side of problems facing supply chain managers. The process of adoption and delivery is simple. Students can access the online simulation via our web site.

Student Success Student success is measured by company profits, as well as a dynamic evaluation process in which students answer probing questions from the company’s board members.
