S&OP is all about communication and considering the implications for roles beyond your own.
The Fresh Connection makes collaboration measurable.

As a supply chain professional trainer and instructor, I was looking for something to integrate theories, best practices and personal knowledge into immersive learning approach. The Fresh Connections offers more than my expectations in all respects. As an instructor, I can explain the abstracted idea/information vividly with the immersive learning experience to my students. I would recommend The Fresh Connection – both to the academic and the corporate!

The Fresh Connection has enabled us to better appreciate the challenges that our customers face…
It has given us insights into the different business interests that Purchasers, Operations Managers and Sales Managers have.

The Fresh Connection is a valuable tool for developing cross – functional partnerships with key stakeholders in the value chain.

The Fresh Connection is a serious game that has added value to the GKN development program: a way to motivate teams in delivering performance using supply chain best practice out of their daily environment.

We sell in Europe and we source from across the globe, this is an excellent platform for learning the importance of collaboration across the extended supply chain.

Participants in The Fresh Connection will be better prepared to deal with real life challenges and succeed in Agile and Changing Supply Chains.

The Fresh Connection was a challenging test of decision making, commercial awareness and learning agility that requires each individual to understand the impact of their role and actions on the profitability of the whole business.

Every salesperson wants to be the best at selling, but if he does so to the detriment of the rest of the company there’s no longterm future. This becomes crystal clear by playing The Fresh Connection.

The TFC business simulations is really an effective method for supply chain learning, from procurement, production, delivery to plan; from strategy to execution, from personal development to team collaboration.

Working alongside the corporates provided a perfect platform for sharing expertise…and also to appreciate the finer details of of those aspects of decision making that we didn't truly understand about each other's daily roles and responsibilities! Great tool for building these critical bridges.

This is by far and away the most impressive product I have seen in a long while!

One highlight was experiencing the real life dependencies and being able to see the effects of decision-making on the bottom line.

The simulation is highly interactive and realistic. Great training tool!

The only time I have trouble getting my students out of the classroom is when we’re playing The Fresh Connection.

We were one of the first to sign up to The Fresh Connection as we could see its benefits for bringing the training and development of our students to life in an imaginative way.

Creating the curriculum with the teaching materials was easily done. I had very limited time and was able to set up an entire semester in one evening.

Since several years, I am integrating the TheFresh Connection simulation with great success in my Supply Chain Management courses at Bachelor and Master Level!

Mastering the Supply Chain is an excellent book that not only covers the understanding of core supply chain management principles but also adds a guided approach to mastering them.

Mastering the Supply Chain is one of the few Supply Chain Management books that describes the explanation about the fundamentals of Supply Chain Management as well as how to apply this fundamentals concretely to the level of organization, management and operations.

Mastering the Supply Chain provides an invaluable guide for understanding how decisions are taken or need to be taken when managing the supply chain strategically.

Supply Chain Management is known to present a high level of complexity: this discipline brings together many issues. The Fresh Connection does not only include many different types of decisions (purchasing, production, logistics, planning, quality of customer service,...), but there are also complex interactions between them, interactions which strongly influence the final performance.

Mastering the Supply Chain is closing the gap by providing a solid theoretical base as well as an immediate practical application through The Fresh Connection business simulation in a very experimental and playful way. It’s an absolute reference on Supply Chain Management for students, professionals, and leaders.

Mastering the Supply Chain offers a unique approach that blends a comprehensive review of the main concepts of supply chain, with plenty of additional references for a more in-depth learning of specific topics.

The title says it all: Mastering the Supply Chain. Not only in theory, but also in practice.

The Fresh Connection deals with how to manage a supply chain from multiple perspectives, including business, technology, performance and optimization.

Supply Chains are comprised of complex interdependent systems and Mastering the Supply Chain ingeniously incorporates knowledge and practice of the essential fundamentals with the Fresh Connection Simulation.

Together with The Fresh Connection’s experiential learning environment, this new book, Mastering the Supply Chain, provides the supporting material in a nice condensed, progressive and aligned style.
