3: Our R-studio gamification powered platform: Unoptimized Session 1

The game simulates 12 month of a manufacturing company with 3 product families. Players act as employees of the company (production, finance, sales and planning) and have to agree on the production plan for each month.

First session exemplify contrasting incentives between different functions, with each player fighting to maximize his bonus which depend on a function related KPI (high volumes for production, low inventory for finance, high service level for sales).

The Elevantas Rstudio powered web application simulates real company dynamics and embed the 12 round real market demand. Players will do their best to optimize production plan (and therefore sales) while The APP will iterate at each round and generate all information needed for the 3 families:

  • Produced Units
  • Demand Units
  • Sold Units
  • Inventory Units
  • Income Statement
  • Balance Sheet

4: Our R-studio gamification powered platform: Optimized Session 2

At the end of the 12th month will get to know the ranking among players and reflect on team dynamics and possible improvements. After a theory session we’ll play round 2 embedding Sales and Operations Plannig routine and best practices to apply a structured method to balance supply and demand :

  • Information management and clear KPIs
  • New roles
  • Structured meeting routine
  • Demand planning rules and forecasting via ARIMAX algorithm
  • Production Planning strategy algorithm (Chase)
Correct meeting routine
Start with demand forecasting
Incorporates Chase Production algorithm
so that production planning decision is made easier
