Interactive simulations and solo challenges to master supply chain concepts — from the bullwhip effect to inventory optimization.
Quick solo challenges — no login required, play instantly.
Watch how a small change in consumer demand gets amplified upstream. Adjust lead times, safety stock, and smoothing to explore the bullwhip effect interactively.
● Live Play Now →Explore the Economic Order Quantity model interactively. Adjust demand, holding costs, and ordering costs — watch the total cost curve update in real time, then test your skills in quiz mode.
● Live Play Now →Apply Moving Average, Exponential Smoothing, and Linear Trend methods to real demand patterns. Pick the best method for each scenario and minimize forecast error.
● Live Play Now →Experience panic buying in a supply chain. Decide how much to order when news events hit — watch how individual rational decisions create collective chaos through the bullwhip effect.
● Live Play Now →Evaluate suppliers using weighted scorecards across price, quality, reliability, stability, and sustainability. Learn why the cheapest option isn't always the best.
● Live Play Now →Source from global suppliers while carbon prices rise each round. Optimize for both cost and emissions — watch how carbon pricing reshapes sourcing strategy.
● Live Play Now →Set optimal order quantities under demand uncertainty. Balance overage and underage costs to maximize profit in a single-period inventory setting.
● Live Play Now →Set the right safety stock level for each product-demand scenario. Too much costs money, too little means stockouts — find the sweet spot.
● Live Play Now →Match supply chain strategies (lean, agile, leagile) to business scenarios. Test your understanding of when each approach works best.
● Live Play Now →Classify inventory items into A, B, and C categories based on value and volume. Master the Pareto principle applied to inventory management.
● Live Play Now →Estimate total lead times across multi-tier supply chains. Account for processing, transit, customs, and variability at each stage.
● Live Play Now →Multiplayer simulations — requires login and an instructor-hosted session.
Experience the bullwhip effect firsthand. Manage a 4-tier supply chain as retailer, wholesaler, distributor, or factory — and see how small demand changes amplify upstream.
● Live Play Now →Coordinate production capacity across multiple plants while demand fluctuates. Make investment decisions that ripple through the entire network.
