The Supply Chain Game is an online supply network simulator. In a typical setting students are divided into teams and compete against each other in one or two assignments lasting a week each. To meet different demand patterns in five regions, student teams set production and inventory control parameters, transportation choices, and add new factories and warehouses. The objective of the game is to maximize cash position at the end of the game. The game is designed for use in supply chain electives or core courses that emphasize supply chain management. Learning objectives include:
Assignment options include 2-hour games to be played in class and 7-day games to be played outside class. The game can be quickly learned by both faculty and students.
The Supply Chain Game was developed with Professors Sunil Chopra and Philipp Afeche at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
