Supply Chain Games - Round I

This is the note from Supply Chain Games Round I - Team SCAM

Our strategy was to limit loss demand by shipping faster via mail. Then, we saw that we still couldn't meet the demand, so we changed the production capacity (up). It worked well, but the demand curve went down. Then, the demand was up again, and we increased the production capacity again the second time. Then, we tried to play with order quantity and point, but our production could not keep up with the higher demand causing loss demand. The last thing we tried was to produce more by increasing the batch size.

If we were to play round 1 again, we would increase the capacity higher and sooner to minimize the loss demand. We just waited too long to take action, so we could do better next time. We need a better communication method besides email (use phone calls next time). I would do more calculation to find out what costs us more (most important and least important).
