Question:
Play with the Near Beer simulation, and write your answers to the following questions. You can submit a list of short answers if you like. Part 1 - Novice Level. Set the game to "Novice" level for this portion. For this portion, it does not matter how well your supply chain does; it only matters that you understand what's going on.
1. How long does it take from the time you place an order for raw materials until the time that beer is available to your customers?
2. Does this delay make the game easier or harder? 3. Play the game for 10 weeks.
Log your raw material orders and what you were thinking:
Week | Raw Material Orders | What we were thinking |
1 | 100 | Better stock up a lot |
2 | 100 | The 100 cases still aren't there |
3 | 30 | O my goodness, we ordered too much… |
-- | ||
10 | 0 | We have too much beer! |
