Monday we had a very interesting session with beer game. The Beer Game is a supply chain simulation game originally developed by a group of professors at MIT Sloan in the 60s. It is used to showcase difficulties faced in a tradition supply chain without proper information sharing and collaboration between stake holders.
After playing 21 rounds, I can clearly see what could happen to a supply chain without clear information/data flow. Our team was handling retail part and even after breaking our heads with calculations and numbers we were unable to match customer requests.
Hopefully we will be able to finish this game next week without a big loss in our game book.
