(25 points) In this novice simulation, customers increase the demand from 10 cases/week to 15 cases/week starting from week 2 and continuing at the same level through the rest of the year.
In reality, this assumption may not be true.
From the production and operations standpoint, discuss how to improve the effectiveness of your supply chain system. Your response should be roughly 500 words (+/- 10% is okay).
(20 points) What did you and your team learn about this Near Beer Game simulation? Your response should be roughly 300 words (+/- 10% is okay).
Do you think it was easy or difficult to get to equilibrium? Explain why. Your response should be roughly 300 words (+/- 10% is okay).
