Supply chains are notoriously inefficient, displaying wild inventory oscillations in response to changes in customer purchases. Many analyses have shown that the oscillations and the effectiveness of management attempts to minimize them depend strongly on the extent and nature of information exchange between the entities in the chain. However, very few supply chains have invested in the information technology that could improve their performance. A new immersive interactive learning object game has been developed that encourages the exploration of information technology investment strategies. It does this by dramatically demonstrating the impact information technology can have in reducing overall supply chain costs.
