Running the simulation involves the following steps:
•Review the Simulation Summary, Your Role, and How to Play sections under the Prepare tab.
•Go to the Analyze tab to run the simulation.
•Submit your weekly order in the Enter Order field; at least 20 rounds are necessary to get a good feel for the problems involved.
•When finished, review your performance under the Dashboard Overview, Inventory and Shipments, Orders and Backlog, and Cost Detail tabs.

It sounds easy, right? Try it and see how good you are at getting root beer to your customers while keeping your inventory and costs low. See if you can control the bullwhip oscillations of stock-outs followed by over-supply.

To run the simulation several times, you will need log out and start again. The log out command is on the bottom left side of the page.

Spend a maximum of 30 minutes working with the game. Then think about it in conjunction with this module\’s readings for perhaps another 15-20 minutes.

address the following questions:
1.What did you do in the simulation? What activities did you engage in? What did you learn about what\’s going on?
2.What have you learned about supply chain management from your participation in this simulation?

you will be personally experiencing the importance of supply chain management (SCM) through a simulation exercise. Your job is to fully understand the components of SCM and how they are broken down into parts. SCM includes the customer as the input and output in the chain through planning, purchasing, inventory, production, and transportation. SCM ensures that products and services are delivered efficiently using IT and related applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), Oracle, and SAP. More specific applications include customer relation analysis (CRA), material resource planning (MRP), and inbound and outbound logistic tracking systems, among others. These applications integrate to the full value chain and interface with customers and suppliers via the Internet and mobile technology.

The challenge of SCM is coordination. Suppliers, manufacturers, sales people, and customers have their own, often incomplete, understanding of what real demand is. Each group has control over only a part of the supply chain, but each group can influence the entire chain by ordering too much or too little. Furthermore, each group is influenced by decisions that others are making. This lack of coordination coupled with the ability to influence while being influenced by others leads to what Stanford\’s Hau Lee refers to as the Bullwhip Effect. Decisions made by groups along the supply chain may actually worsen shortages or overstocks. The bullwhip effect is illustrated by a story Lee tells about how Volvo found itself with extra inventories of green cars. To get them off the dealers\’ lots, Volvo\’s sales department offered special deals, so demand for green cars increased. Production, unaware of the promotion, saw the increase in sales and ramped up production of green cars.

Coordination is not just about communication. Even in supply chains where communication is perfect, manufacturing and procurement delays can wreak havoc. While customers are ordering, backlogs can build, and it is easy to confuse backlogged orders with increases in demand.

Analyze the selected document to demonstrate what the document reveals about European attitudes toward the Americas. Consider such topics as how they viewed the land, how they viewed the other people with whom they came into contact, how they viewed their reasons for the actions they took, and so on. As you analyze this, do the following to complete your assignment:

Be sure to have clear introduction and conclusion paragraphs to your paper. Your introduction paragraph should briefly introduce the document you will analyze, and it should indicate that you will be analyzing the document to demonstrate the European attitudes toward the Americas that it reflects. At the end of your introduction paragraph, you should provide a thesis statement, which is a statement that gives the reader a specific sense of what your overall conclusion(s) in the paper will be. In this sentence, summarize an overall theme about European attitudes toward the Americas that your analysis will show that the document you have chosen reflects. Your thesis statement should state a clear and definitive argument that your writing assignment will show about the document, and the thesis statement should name the document in the process. Your conclusion paragraph should wrap your points from the paper together into some final thoughts that indicate how your major points from the paper all connect around a theme and, in the process, how they reconnect back to the introduction and the thesis statement.

Base your paper around showing a series of points about the European attitudes toward the Americas that the document reflects. Present your points clearly and explain them fully, with clear indication of how the document shows these points.

Provide specific details from the document and clearly explain how these specific details illustrate your points. Do not simply rely on any discussion of the document that is offered in the textbook or in some other source. While you may refer to the points in the textbook or use them as a starting point, your paper must be built upon your own observations and the conclusions that you draw from those observations. You are being asked for this assignment to develop your own interpretations from what you see when you look at the document. You will not be graded on whether your interpretation is \”correct\” or not. Rather, you will be graded on how well you state what is reflected in the document, how well you explain how these things are reflected in the document, and how well you show what specifically about the document provides the basis for your conclusions.

If you do use the textbook, be sure to cite it appropriately. Also, when referencing the document specifically, whether in quotation in or paraphrase, cite it appropriately. See Step 7 of the \”General Instructions for Papers\” in this lesson for directions on how to cite the textbook properly.

Create a fitting, descriptive title for your paper. You can summarize the content to follow in the title or you can devise a clever title that is connected to what is discussed in the body of your paper.

Suggested Paper Length: Two to three word-processed pages, double-spaced.

Assignment: In 3 pages or less (double spaced), describe how you are going to research your topic and produce quality outcome measures. For instance, if you are going to design an Emergency Department, identify (3) challenges that current Emergency Departments face in today’s health care environment and outline how your design will aim to solve these challenges as well as post occupancy quality outcome measures that can be applied to your design solution. This must be conducted in APA format.

In summary:

Map your strategic, cultural and research goals. Each one of these should be (1) paragraph. – 10 points

Describe three challenges that your end users face that can be solved with design (Project Drivers)– 10 points

Describe how you are going to solve them with your innovative design (Hypothesize Outcomes & Innovate) – 10 points

Describe quality outcome measures that can be derived from your solving the challenges – include qualitative and quantitative information gathering (Improved Outcomes & Implement Translational Design/ Design for Improvement)– 10 points

You must have read through Chapter 4 in the text to complete this assignment.

Chapter 4: Findings/Results

The aim of this part is to be able to present relevant findings before going ahead to analyse those findings and see what implications they might have for the issues, problems or ideas that prompted the research. The researcher needs to consider what significance the data might have in the context of the overall aims of the research.
• An introductory context for understanding the results by restating the research problem that underpins the purpose of your study.
• A summary of your key findings arranged in a logical sequence that generally follows your methodology section.
• Inclusion of non-textual elements, such as, figures, charts, photos, maps, tables, etc. to further illustrate the findings, if appropriate.
• In the text, a systematic description of your results, highlighting for the reader observations that are most relevant to the topic under investigation [remember that not all results that emerge from the methodology that you used to gather the data may be relevant].

30% will be a 5-page policy memo final exam. Students will take up the role of consultants to a Latin
American government, an international organization or Latin America related regional body (Inter American
Development Bank, Organization of American States, UNASUR or an agency of the US government working
with Latin America). It could also be a corporation. The memo has three components that must be there:
-Presentation and summary of the issue.
-Possible courses of action (identify the client‟s interest, lay out options and the costs and benefits of those
options)
-Recommendation and justification of the reasons for it.
Model policy and business memos are included in the course pack reading materials
Failure to submit or fulfill any required course component results in failure of the class.
Be as specific as possible about your expectations regarding student work
