The Object of the Advanced Network Game

The aim of the game is to fulfill client orders and keep costs to a minimum by successfully serving multiple retailers with various products manufactured with parts from different suppliers.

Players must leverage optimal visibility so as to more precisely order and deliver the appropriate number of items each week.

But watch out! Demand can quickly fluctuate as retailers suddenly announce promotions or HR problems reduce capacity to make deliveries on time.

The most cost-effective supply chain at the end of the final round wins!
