About Supply Chain Disaster
Master supply chain management through interactive storytelling and strategic decision-making.
Our Mission
Supply chain management is one of the most critical — and most misunderstood — disciplines in modern business. Textbooks can teach theory, but real understanding comes from experience: from watching your inventory pile up after a demand spike, or scrambling to find an alternative supplier when your primary one fails.
Supply Chain Disaster was built to bridge that gap. We believe the best way to learn supply chain strategy is to live it — making real-time decisions under pressure, seeing the consequences play out, and adapting your approach chapter by chapter.
How The Game Works
Each playthrough takes you through up to 10 chapters across up to 40 quarterly turns. You'll face realistic supply chain scenarios — from bullwhip effects and supplier disruptions to demand forecasting challenges and global crisis management dilemmas.
Choose from Electronics, FMCG, or Pharmaceutical industries — each with unique supply chain dynamics, cost structures, and risk profiles. Your decisions on procurement strategy, safety stock levels, and supplier selection directly impact your bottom line.
What You'll Learn
- The Bullwhip Effect — Demand amplification that causes 40%+ overordering upstream from just a 5% retail fluctuation (documented by P&G with Pampers in the 1990s)
- JIT vs. JIC Inventory — When lean Just-In-Time strategy beats safety stock buffers, and when it doesn't
- Supplier Risk — Single-source dependency, lead-time variability, and building resilient multi-tier supplier networks
- Demand Forecasting — Moving averages, trend analysis, and the cost of forecast error
- Cash Flow Optimization — Balancing procurement spend, holding costs, and stockout penalties
