Supply Chain Simulations

We facilitate the Beer Game (the beer distribution game), an experiential business simulation game created to demonstrate several key principles of Supply Chain Management. The simulation is undertaken by teams of at least four players, in an environment of heated competition. A debriefing session then follows to review the results of each team and discuss the lessons learned.

Why The Beer Game

• The purpose of the simulation is to understand the distribution side dynamics of a multi-echelon supply chain.
• It enables participants to experience typical coordination problems of supply chains in which information sharing and collaboration do not exist.

The Beer Game is a great way to get your team to effortlessly appreciate and learn the benefits of information sharing and collaboration among themselves and with their external partners in the Supply Chain!    

ISCS Consulting is the authorized facilitator of the Fresh Connection Management simulation in the East African region.

Concept

A high-performing organization needs the collaboration of team members from across the organization. Tearing down silos and creating the right cross-functional mindset, however, can be a serious challenge. The Fresh Connection is a cross-functional business simulation which motivates your team to deliver optimal performance by using general management best practices from real-world situations. See for yourself how The Fresh Connection will effect positive and powerful change in your enterprise.

Why is The Fresh Connection different?

For a subject as vital as Value Chain Management, it is not enough to tell people what needs to be done. They must experience it. The Fresh Connection is a different way of learning that puts participants at the heart of a lifelike simulation so they can experience the impact of every decision they make, not just in their own ‘silo’ but across the business. By team experience, participants measure their own performance against others and receive constant feedback from the professional trainers leading the simulation. Between rounds, participants reflect on what just happened, are introduced to new concepts and then go back to put what they have learned into practice in the next round. It is this Magic Circle that makes The Fresh Connection so powerful. Companies who have experienced The Fresh Connection find it is not only highly effective but has a lasting impact on participants, delivering long-term benefits and making it the world’s best value chain management learning experience. The best way to understand what makes The Fresh Connection unique is to experience it for yourself: sign up for our free trial and see if you have what it takes to create alignment and implement a successful supply chain strategy.
