Welcome to …

Setup and Decisions

Each team consists of four players: a retailer, a wholesaler, a distributor, and a factory.

Two Games In the first game, you only see information

for your piece of the supply chain. We will most likely run only the first game.

In the second game, you see information for the entire supply chain.

Game Time

Each game lasts 30 to 50 weeks. Each player makes one decision each week:

The retailer orders cases of beer from the wholesaler The wholesaler orders cases of beer from the distributor The distributor orders cases of beer from the factory The factory schedules production

All orders must be eventually filled. If you can’t fill an order with inventory, the order is

backlogged until you can fill it.

Note

Each order takes 2 weeks to get to the upstream player

Each shipment takes another 2 weeks to get to the downstream player.

1 2Orders flow upstream

Shipments flow downstream12

Information

Your game board displays the following information: dem – actual customer demand that round order – order placed that round sched – production scheduled by the factory brew – work in process at the factory shipped – goods in transit

…and for each player: Beginning - inventory held when that round begins Arriving - that round’s incoming shipment Order In - that round’s incoming Order Ending - inventory held when that round ends

Objective

Each week, every player incurs the following expense:

$0.50 for each case in inventory, shown by a positive ending inventory

$1.00 for each backlogged case, shown by a negative ending inventory

Beginning + Arriving – Order In = Ending

Your objective is to finish with the lowest cost.
