Global Supply Chain Simulation

Global Supply Chain Management Simulation
Spring 2016

We will be running the Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) simulation in class on April 14th (Thursday).  I’ll be holding additional office hours on Monday April 18th from 2-4 pm to help with the simulation (e-mail me to coordinate logistics if you plan to attend office hours).

In preparation for this, you will need to organize into groups of two, and one individual from each pair will need to register for the simulation (note, only 1 account is needed per team). The registration can be completed at http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/access/49184407.

A bonus of 0.25 will be provided for:
a) completing the registration by Wednesday, April 13th (noon) &
b) posting the username and e-mail address you used to register as a comment to this post.  Also mention the names of your group members.

In addition, please read through the attached instructions before we begin the simulation.  This will give you an overview of the game and how it will work. Attached as well is a record sheet you will need to print out and use during the course of the simulation to record your decisions and actions.

Instructions

The deliverables for this assignment are:

1. Student Record Sheet – please complete this as you work on the simulation. Enter detailed explanations for each decision in the space provided.  Submit the completed record sheets for all 4 years.
2. Table to fill only for year 4.  Comment on which costs (as fraction of revenue) are high, and how you can improve.

The due date for submission of all deliverables is April 21, 2016 @ 5:30 pm (beginning of class).
