Week 2 – Logistics

Posted on September 10, 2006 by | Leave a comment

Toward the end of this week I am trying to put together an in-class exercise or game to emphasize the decision making that goes on in supply chains. Anyone want to play? It will be a team exercise, I think– I have to think over the classroom logistics to see how to do it because there is physical transfer of items during the game. Let me know if you think this is a good idea. The name alone will sell it here at CMA. It’s called “The Beer Game”. The MIT version that can be played online is here. See the Wikipedia entry also for instructions and some studies.

First Day of Class

Posted on September 4, 2006 by | 2 comments

Here’s an open invitation to register and make comments on what you’d like to find out the first day of class. You’ll of course had time to look at the WebCT website and see the course info and schedule, which we will discuss. Any special requests for information? Should we introduce everyone? What would you like to hear Friday if we need more time?
