Long description
In this computer-supported business game, participants can gain practical experience in production planning and control. They work in teams of 2 and are responsible for managing a manufacturing company. The teams carry out planning tasks that are particularly close to production and logistics. This includes, among other things, the preparation of quotations, machine allocation planning, material procurement and investment planning. Teams compete with each other on the market. Other influences, some of which are random (e.g. machine failures, delivery bottlenecks), increase the complexity and the fun of the game.
