The Supply Chain Game
The experience that transforms theory into real decisions
At the heart of the Challenge is the Supply Chain Game, the simulator developed by Makeitalia to reproduce the main dynamics of a corporate Supply Chain. Participants build their supply chain and manage procurement and supplier performance by making decisions that influence the results obtained. Each scenario is designed to replicate the complexity and variability typical of the real context, allowing students to test their analytical, decision-making, and strategic skills.
