Introduction

Show students how supply chain decisions shape financial performance

Working capital is shaped by everyday supply chain decisions. From how much inventory you hold to the payment terms you negotiate, each choice affects the company’s cash position and financial health.

In this simulation, students take on executive roles at a personal care products manufacturer. They are challenged to align operations with financial goals, manage trade-offs between service and cost, and improve key metrics like cash flow and current ratio.

This immersive experience builds a deep understanding of how internal decisions drive working capital performance and why it matters in every supply chain role.
