Stocks and supplies Training (serious game)

Presentation

The training is based on a serious game played in two seasons. Each team represents a company in charge of determining and implementing its stock and supply strategy for a range of five products.

The game is enriched by a presentation of the principles of stock management and procurement rules.
A more complete description of the training process is available at : HERE.

Objectives

At the end of the training, the trainee will be able to understand :

• Understand the impact of inventory management choices on the company’s service rate and WCR;
• Use a common language on inventory management;
• Highlight the complexity of the supply and inventory management professions for participants outside the supply chain;
• Prepare and support the company in the implementation of good practices in item categorisation and stock management.

Audience

Through its pedagogical approach based on a simplified simulation of the firm, this training course is aimed at both company players who have to deal with operational inventory management issues and people who are directly confronted with the financial consequences of this management and need to understand all the mechanisms involved.
