S&OP Game — supply chain simulation

A complete supply chain, played in real time by your teams.

Each player holds one link and only sees their neighbours. Inspired by the MIT Beer Game, adapted to today's supply chain constraints — with no preparation work for the participants.

One seat per link, from 3 players · Browser · Nothing to install

installation. Everything runs in a browser, on any device.

0

accounts to create for the players, and no preparation work.

1

debriefing report, produced automatically at the end of the game.

How to run it ?

Three moments, half a day.

01

Set up your scenario

Customize the number of rounds, duration, process names and stock icon. A pre-made supply chain is waiting if you want to start straight away.

  • Customize process name & stock icon
  • Multiple rounds for increasing complexity
  • Pre-made Supply Chain
02

Invite and play

Each player gets a link, takes a role, and only sees their direct neighbours. That missing information is what produces the bullwhip effect — and the learning.

  • Multiplayer — one seat per link, from 3 participants
  • No account creation for the players
  • Real time animation
  • No need to download software or App
03

Debrief and analyze

Review with the team the challenges they faced, backed by a complete automated report: stock, backlog, orders and costs, player by player and round by round.

  • Automated charts & graphs
  • Comparative analysis by player, round
  • Live data throughout the game
  • Live performance dashboard
