Introduction

Turn basic supply chain concepts into real-world experience

Many students learn the terminology but never see how it connects in practice. This solution helps them make sense of the bigger picture from the start.

In this interactive learning experience, students step into the C-suite of a struggling orange fruit juice manufacturing company. They make decisions, navigate trade-offs, and experience how their choices affect performance across the entire supply chain.

By analyzing outcomes and reflecting on their decisions, students develop a clear understanding of how supply chains work and how to improve them.
