The SC Simulation Game Main Learnings • Managing a global supply chain that competes by making timely decisions of pricing, ordering, and logistics that impact both the market and competitors • The impact of supply chain contracts on supply chain and individual firm performance • Negotiation under asymmetric information • Supply chain strategy (responsiveness versus efficiency)
The SC Simulation Game Procedure • The game is played with competing teams of 4–8 players • Each team has four roles: a Retailer, Wholesaler, Distributor, and Manufacturer • The game is played for up to 96 weeks (2 simulated years)
Customers Wholesaler Manufacturer Distributor Retailer The flow of product and orders • Manufacturing and transport takes 1 or 2 weeks. • Orders are received immediately
The Decisions • Weekly: • Order quantity • Mode of transportation (trucks vs planes) • Quarterly: • Retail Price • Half Yearly: • Supply Chain Contract Negotiations (Revenue Sharing or Wholesale Pricing Contracts) • Information System
The SC Game Interface Retailer Screen
The SC Game Interface Distributor Screen
The SC Game Debrief • Market Strategy – Pricing and market share • Supply Chain Strategy – Ordering, using fast mode of transportation (Responsiveness vs efficiency), coordinated ordering • The Supply Chain Contract • Wholesale pricing contract • Revenue sharing contract • Use of Information Sharing • Individual vs Supply Chain Profit
Supply Chain Strategy Team 1 Team 3
The Supply Chain Contract • Revenue-Sharing contract versus Wholesale-Pricing contract • What is the goal and impact of the revenue sharing contract? What is the optimal revenue sharing contract? • What is the impact of the Asymmetric Information?
