The Beer Game

default-16x9

Could anyone help me to find a game called 'The Beer Game', used in supply chain training.

Come to that any good game to illustrate how a supply chain works, and to reinforce supportive behaviours would be of interest.

Many thanks

MBS recently held a workshop here at Northern Technologies on Supply Chain Management and used the beer game to illutrate and identify potential problem areas. Please contact me for further details.

    I have not come across the Beer Game but when freelancing for the Institute of Logistics and Transport (ILT) I have heard references to the Lego Game. Have you tried contacting the ILT on 01536 740100, Web site http://www.iolt.org.uk? They might be able to help. Good luck.
