A few notes for the simulation.  I am going to post your starting reports.  I will send yours to your whole team via campus email.  Your team will be able to see current levels of materials and resources, and your last financial report, and this will help you make decisions about what to do.

REMEMBER THE DECISIONS ARE DUE BY FRIDAY MIDNIGHT.  One copy of sheet per team please.

This week on Monday and Wednesday we will try to accomplish two things.

• Submit and present cases.
• Learn something about forecasting from a quantitiative standpoint.

Friday we’ll continue with forecasting, and that will finish up Chapter 3. Then it is on to Chapter 4 the following week. I will pass out a small forecasting assignment you should do at home.

Also on Friday by midnight, your team should submit your decisions for the trial week of the simulation game. On Monday I will pass out your status reports that you should use to plan your decisions. Remember, this is a trial week, to get the pattern down. The real thing will start after that. More discussion during the week.

I’ve got the list of people in groups for the case studies and for the simulation game. I’m sending your group this message so you know what group you are on. For the simulation we need 12 groups!!
I ASSIGNED PEOPLE TO GROUPS WHEN I DID NOT HEAR FROM THEM. KEEP IN MIND YOUR GROUP MUST PREPARE SOMETHING ON THE CASE 3. COMMUNICATE WITH ME ASAP IF THERE IS SOME PROBLEM.

I will also try to post the list of teams on WebCT later on if I can, and also here.
Remember the case study will be done for Wednesday in section 1 and Monday for section 2. All teams must prepare the case — Cheezy or Handy from Chapter 3 – Good luck!
