Exercise – Supply chain dynamics also lends itself to simple gaming. Just separating groups of students into teams, each of which is a stage in the supply chain, imposing rules around order lead-times and inventory levels, and then changing demand at the end of the supply chain can lead to a very vivid example of the bull whip effect. The well-known ‘Beer game’ is an ideal example of this type of game. (Just search for ‘beer game’ using a search engine.)
