About
Most people think supply chain management is just moving boxes from A to B. Anyone in the industry knows it’s actually a high-stakes balancing act where one late shipment or a sudden demand spike can bankrupt an entire operation.
Supply Chain Disaster is a browser-based simulation designed to put you in the hot seat. Inspired by the complexities of global logistics, the game challenges you to manage inventory, navigate lead-time variances, and mitigate the "Bullwhip Effect" before your costs spiral out of control.
The Challenge
You aren't just clicking buttons; you’re managing a living system. Every decision to overstock or lean out has a ripple effect.
Master the Bullwhip Effect: Experience how small fluctuations in consumer demand can amplify into massive supply chain disruptions.
Balance Resilience vs. Efficiency: Do you keep extra safety stock to stay safe, or cut it thin to maximize profit?
Dynamic Scenarios: Navigate unpredictable lead times and logistics hurdles that mirror real-world volatility.
Why I Built This
As someone obsessed with making complex supply chain theories tangible, I wanted to create a "gamified" way for students and professionals to feel the pressure of the warehouse floor. It’s a mix of strategy, education, and—let’s be honest—the occasional panic when your shipments don't arrive on time.
