I use this activity every year. I ran it horribly the first year. Get's easier and better every year after. Worth the work and 2 days to break up the learning time and get the students engaged. It is fun!

This simulation was practiced in my MBOE class at OSU. Great way to learn customer demand, delay, and inventory.
