SUPPLY CHAIN SIMULATION GAME - IBPNow™
Supply Chain Planning is a cornerstone for success for any business. And yet, the sheer plethora of complex IT enabled solutions available in the market has made its application a byzantine task. This exciting and critical area, as misunderstood as it is misapplied, needs a fresh approach towards its understanding and application.
So, get ready to play Bristlecone’s very own Supply Chain Simulation Game. Here, we re-visit supply chain planning concepts and showcase SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP), SAP’s latest flagship supply chain planning product, in a unique exercise that is both fun and educational. Modelled on the famous Beer Distribution Game concept, this unique exercise will put you in roles where you will have to make real time decisions to ensure your end-to-end supply chain is coordinated & optimized.
On June 26th (Melbourne), teams will compete to determine the most optimal metrics to measure their supply chain. The entire process will be mapped in SAP IBP to replicate ad-hoc business decisions with ease. In a classic duel between human intuition and bias vs system driven planning, these shall be compared against the teams’ responses to determine which delivers a more optimised plan. It shall also highlight SAP IBP as a powerful tool for knitting together your supply chain to deliver optimised solutions to even the most complex problems while showcasing its ease of use and user-friendly interfaces.
