Global Supply Chain Management Simulation
Spring 2017

We will be running the Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) simulation in class on April 24th (Monday).

In preparation for this, you need to:

  1. Organize into groups of two or three and have one individual from each team register for the simulation (note, only 1 account is needed per team).  The registration can be completed at this URL.

An Extra Credit bonus of 0.25 point will be provided if you:
a) Complete the registration by Wednesday, April 19th (noon) &
b) Post the username and e-mail address you used to register as a comment to this post.  Also mention the name of your group partner(s).

2.  Read through the attached instructions before we begin the simulation.  This will give you an overview of the game, how it works and what some of your activities (e.g. decisions) will be.

3.  Print out the Student Record sheet (below).  You will use this sheet 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 May 1, 2017 @ 5:30 pm (beginning of class).
