Beer Game: A Supply Chain Game Description:
  • The Beer Game was developed to introduce students, managers and executives to concepts of System Dynamics and the dynamic behavior of supply chains. The purpose of the game is to illustrate the key principle that structure produces behavior. Players experience the pressures of playing a role in a complex system and can see long range effects during the course of the game. Each player participates as a member of a team that must meet its customers’ demands. The object of the game is to minimize the total cost for your team.
  • The debriefing session following the game illustrates a number of insights about management systems that generalize well beyond inventories and supply chains. To play and debrief the game takes a minimum of just over two hours. The debriefing is the most important part of the game.
  • This game is used at hundreds of universities and companies around the world as a teaching tool and a team building exercise that introduces participants to systems thinking concepts in a management context.
