Master Complex Supply Chain Dynamics with Advanced Network Simulations
Real-world, multi-party supply chains are more complicated than the linear models often learned in the classroom. Zensimu helps players learn how to navigate networks involving multiple customers, suppliers, and products.
Prepare your teams for dynamic supply chain environments with Zensimu
How do you manage the varying orders of multiple retailers? How do you beat the competition supplying the same customers? Meanwhile, sudden HR issues, product recalls, or sales promotions throw off your careful planning without a moment’s notice!
Zensimu Advanced Network Simulations are designed for engaging, data-driven learning experiences that develop real decision-making skills across procurement, planning, operations, and leadership teams.
What’s more, instructors are free to customize game scenarios based on specific industry or company challenges, dynamics, and environment.
With Zensimu’s intuitive and immersive simulations, participants quickly learn how to:
Develop better strategic ordering and allocation decisions.
Understand the impact of local decisions on network‑wide performance.
Improve coordination across planning, procurement, and operations.
Learn how complexity amplifies variability and cost.
Zensimu games are challenging, educational, and fun!
Easy to start and host, our game simulations assign up to 200 participants grouped in teams of 2 to 8 to manage a different step in the value chain.
The goal is to fulfill client orders and keep costs to a minimum by successfully managing production and deliveries to and from multiple suppliers and customers.
Teamwork is key. Communicate regularly to align supply and demand across multiple production steps and distribution channels!
