The Game

Production Planning and Inventory Control @ Virginia Tech

Welcome!

The Production Planning Game is an educational tool that demonstrates the interactions between production planning decisions and performance measures, such as inventory levels, resource levels, costs, and profits. The game involves the production of three products with time-varying and uncertain demand over nine time periods. As demand unfolds over time, teams experience the effects of their labor planning decisions, inventory ordering policies, and production decisions as they compete for the highest profit.
