Play and get a beer to understand Supply Chains.
Get your buddies to snag some cold beers, get cozy, and jump into the MIT Beer Game. https://lnkd.in/dufEGRYu
It's an awesome way to learn a bit while kicking back. As you crack open the beers and kick off the game, each person picks their spot in the supply chain: you might be making the beer as the manufacturer, sending it out as the distributor, getting it to the shops as the wholesaler, or selling it direct to the customers as the retailer.
Once you start playing, you'll see how crazy it gets trying to keep up when you don’t know what the others are up to. Every round, something new pops up and throws everyone off. It's just like dealing with real-life mess-ups, where a small mix-up somewhere can send waves down the whole line.
Knocking back a few while you play makes it chill, but it also kind of shows what it's like trying to make smart moves when you're not 100% on your game.
It turns into a fun but really eye-opening look at how every choice you make can stir up something big, and before you know it, you're all learning more about supply chains than you figured, laughing over who messed up last round, and getting why this stuff matters in real jobs.
By the time you're done, you’ll all get a real taste of what it's like to manage these crazy systems every day!
