Rated 4.9/5 by our customers since 2021.
The Object of the Planning Game
The aim of the game is to fulfill client orders and keep costs to a minimum by applying MRP principles, such as integrating marketing info and safety stock calculations into your forecasts.
Players must precisely calculate what they need to reorder to complete the manufacturing process.
But watch out — human error is common! Teams need to identify mistakes made along the way, share insights and ideas, and improve their approach.
The most cost-effective supply chain at the end of the final round wins!
