The Story
In this single-player asynchronous simulation, participants are in charge of the supply chain for a global mobile phone manufacturer. They must design the product line, forecast demand, choose a set of suppliers (each of which has different costs, lead-times, and capacities), and allocate production among their suppliers. Learners then observe actual demand, and have opportunities to respond to demand shifts and unexpected events over the course of four simulated years. The participants are scored both on their cumulative results, reflected in their profits, and on their process choices, reflected by the support of board members with specific expertise and perspectives. Ultimately, the participants must balance competing priorities and create a flexible supply chain to react quickly to fluctuating demand.
