Octigo Logistics Game

Supply chain simulation

Manage the entire beer supply chain — from Manufacturer to Retailer. Each week you decide how many units to order at every stage. Watch the Bullwhip Effect emerge as small demand changes cascade into massive order swings upstream.

Initial inventory: 12 units per node
Shipping delay: 2 weeks per hop
Demand jumps week 5: 4 → 8 units
Holding: $0.50/unit · Backlog: $1.00/unit
Goal: minimise total cost over 36 weeks
Identify the Bullwhip Effect in order variability
