Supply Chain and Logistics

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.
