The Object of the Disruption Game

The aim of the game is to fulfill client orders and keep costs to a minimum by successfully managing delivery disruptions.

What to do when the Panama Canal unexpectedly closes? Or quality issues cause a total recall of your products? Meanwhile, customer backorders continue to pile up!

Teamwork is key. Communicate regularly, keep an eye on each other’s inventory, and coordinate to increase lead time to meet customer demand! 

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