Supply Chain Fundamentals - The Beer Game (Bullwhip Effect)

The Beer Game is a relatively short game that illustrates the supply chain dynamics. This game shows clearly that fluctuations in demand at the final customer are amplified the more one goes upstream. This effect has been described in the literature as the "Forrester effect" or the "Bullwhip effect". The participants will experience the distortions in the supply chain, understand the causes of this distortion, and learn how to improve the supply chain performance.

The objective of the beer game is to create awareness for supply chain issues. It is an ideal introduction to an in-depth training on supply chain management.
