Supply Chain Simulation

An impactful simulation that brings supply chain to life

Built on the strength of relationships, the supply chain is the process that integrates the movement of goods, materials and related information from suppliers through to customers. The supply chain simulation is a unique hands-on learning event which enables participants to experience and learn all aspects of what makes a successful and agile supply chain. The simulation requires participants to run, develop, and evolve a diverse and inclusive supply chain deploying resources in the most effective manner to deliver challenging KPIs, whilst delighting their customers.

A practical, simulation-based training solution that emulates…

The supply chain simulation is a robust and powerful experiential learning process that brings to life the issues confronting people involved in all areas of the supply/demand chain

Participants are faced with a fast-changing tailored environment where they need to build trust within the team and across teams, refine and adapt their skills and responses to deliver a truly integrated supply chain working as one team

Setting supply chain targets and measurements

Developing supply chain information systems

Managing cash flow and forecasting

Building an agile and responsive chain

Building and developing potential markets

Contracting with and delighting customers

We are experts in creating practical, simulation-based training solutions to emulate your supply/demand chain processes; helping to break down functional silos and enabling your people to experience their role in affecting successful outcomes and practice using the levers that lead to success

After each year of the simulation, we produce a set of KPI’s and measures that reflect successes and failures, everyone gets to see and realise how their efforts generated these results!

Learning themes the simulation explores…

Supply chain resilience and flexibility

The simulation has disruptions & ambiguity which gives participants opportunities to respond to this, create clarity and develop a resilient & flexible supply chain 

Agency and responsibility

During the simulation participants are faced with many opportunities to practice ‘doing the right thing’ and witnessing the benefits of taking responsibility & developing a sustainable business

Finding and sustaining community

The supply chain simulation encourages, building trust, fostering cross company collaboration, building networks and seeking win-win scenarios

Harnessing emotion

The supply chain simulation gives participants the opportunity to explore emotion & behaviours and the benefits of keeping and open ‘growth’ mindset

Digital transformation and data integration

The simulation uses technology to demonstrate how to; drive efficiency, reduce costs, and enable proactive decision-making
