Simulation configuration
Teaching focus: Response to structural demand change and the difference between signal and noise.
Demand starts stable and then shifts upward, creating a controlled disturbance.
- Demand pattern
- step
- Visibility
- standard
- Order delay
- 1 round(s)
- Shipment delay
- 1 round(s)
- Inventory cost
- 1
- Backlog cost
- 2
- Capacity
- none
Runtime note: Runtime active for external step-demand scheduling. The classroom engine still uses the simplified one-round order and shipment flow.
Round timing and lag
Configured order delay: 1 round(s). Configured shipment delay: 1 round(s).
The current network runtime uses the standard one-round order/shipment flow.
- Incoming order is the demand this role must try to satisfy in the current round.
- Order quantity is the order this role places upstream to its supplier.
- Orders you submit in this round become incoming orders for your supplier in the next round.
- Shipments sent in this round become shipments received by the downstream customer in the next round.
- For the retailer, incoming order is external customer demand. For the manufacturer, upstream supply is represented by local production in the current simplified runtime.
Simulation parameters
Runtime status: Playable now. Runtime active for external step-demand scheduling. The classroom engine still uses the simplified one-round order and shipment flow.
Demand runtime: Demand scheduling is active. Current external demand is 4. External demand is 4 through round 4, then 8 from round 5.
Supply-chain inventory overview
This overview sums on-hand inventory and backlog across the active role states. Inventory in transit is not represented as a separate stock bucket in the current simplified runtime; shipment movement appears in the completed-round history.
