Use in Education

The Supply Chain Game is ideally suited to use in an academic environment.   The exercise can be successfully performed with groups of students from schools (Year 10 upwards) and further education establishments.   It can be used as a team building exercise where the competitive nature of the game can be utilized to challenge social barriers or to supplement the education of business and manufacturing related subjects.

This exercise is designed to augment the academic activities associated with the QCA Framework “Economic Wellbeing 11-19: Career, work related learning and enterprise”.  The careful design of the exercise can be seen to supplement learning in the following elements.

• Learn how and why businesses operate
• Learn about working practices and environments
• Engage with ideas, challenges and applications from the business world
