The Beergame: A Role Play Supply Chain Simulation Materials by Kai Riemer

The Beergame is a role-playing supply chain simulation. Players represent different roles in a supply chain such as retailers, wholesalers, or manufacturers. Over multiple rounds, players place orders to meet demand while managing inventory levels and costs. The document shows an example game where each player's orders, deliveries, inventory, and costs are tracked over several periods as the supply chain responds to changes in demand. Players learn about the bullwhip effect, where small fluctuations in demand are amplified as orders move up the supply chain.
