Supply Chain Simulations > S&OP

Master Sales & Operations Planning Through Simulation

Efficient supply chains start with alignment. Zensimu provides hands-on, interactive environments to practice cross-functional alignment, balancing demand and supply plans, consensus-driven decision-making, capacity planning.

Give your teams a critical edge to successful supply chain management

How not just to navigate, but thrive in uncertainty? What are the tools effective supply chain managers need to avoid costly pitfalls in a fast-paced environment? How does a streamlined operation order and deliver with accuracy?

Zensimu S&OP Simulations allow players to practice real supply chain planning decisions, such as forecasting, production planning, inventory optimization, and more!

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:

Run structured S&OP meetings.

Align demand and supply plans.

Manage capacity constraints.

Make consensus-based trade-offs.

Zensimu S&OP simulations are challenging, educational, and fun!

Easy to start and host, our game simulations assign up to 200 players grouped in cross-functional teams, each taking on a distinct role such as Demand Planner, Supply Planner, or Operations Manager.

The goal is to align demand and supply across the organization while balancing service levels, costs, and capacity constraints.

Collaboration is key. Meet regularly, challenge each other's assumptions, and reach consensus to deliver a unified operating plan!

Zensimu-powered classroom and training sessions in 3 easy steps!

1. Setting up

Instructors have an extensive set of features and options for creating customized S&OP simulations based on unique company and industry challenges.

2. Hosting

Once your game is set up, you can send player invites and launch your game in a matter of seconds!

3. Debriefing

The game may be over, but the learning is not! Review automatically generated post-game analysis and statistics.

Technical requirements? Not so much.

Instructors and players just need to access a web browser on their phones or computers with a stable internet connection.

Zensimu provides supportive powerpoint files, explanatory videos, and instantly creates debriefing reports and charts, plus PDF and Excel exports, at the end of each game.
