3 0 Preamble This introduction to the business simulation D i s t r i b u t i o n should guarantee an easy entry to the simulation and serve as a reference book while it is being done. The contents of this introduction should be known by the participants at the beginning of the simulation! - 3 -

4 1 Goal and program of the simulation The aim is that participants should learn and understand the meaning of logistics with special focus on Distribution during the two days of simulation. Three periods of ten turns each will be played. The participants will act in five different roles and will have different views on this part of the supply chain starting at the production and ending at the customer. Each period consists of the parts Introduction to the focus of the period Planning Working according to the job descriptions Analyses Total group result Contribution of each participant to the result Determination of the weak points Potential analyses Development of measures for improvement (group work) Key topics will be Lead time / delivery time for Standard products Special products (Built to order products) Spare parts Delivery from Warehouse Distribution center Factory Market structures and requisites European market Overseas market - 4 -

5 2 The company See app. 1: Places of work The company produces standard and special products in the EU. Customers are not only in the EU but also overseas. All the transportation is done by logistics service providers. The warehouse and the distribution center belong to the company

6 3 The products See app. 2: Products The company produces Standard products BB Black-Black RR Red-Red WW White-White Special (Built to order) products GB - Grey-Black GR - Grey-Red GW - Grey-White RB - Red-Black (dangerous goods) WR - White-Red (not to be transported together with RB Spare parts are B2 - Black 2 R2 - Red 2 W2 - White 2 G2 - Grey 2 B4 - Black 4 R4 - Red 4 W4 - White 4 Products of the series Grey (i.e. GB, GR, GW) have to be installed on site at the customer. For this reason there are special technicians in the EU and overseas who serve this purpose

7 4 The customers The company s customers are situated in Europe and overseas. E1 Near to the factory / warehouse. Can only be reached by truck and the truck will (normally) arrive the next turn. (Starting turn + 1) E2 In the center of the EU. Good traffic connections. Served by plane (+1 turn), truck (+2 turns) and rail (+3 turns). E3 O1 O2 O3 Quite far away form the factory. Traffic connections could be much better. To be reached by plane (+2 turns), truck (+4 turns), rail (+5 turns) and even ship (+7 turns). Overseas, quite near to the distribution center, the main port and airport. To be reached from the distribution center by truck the next turn. Transportation from the factory will last by plane 3 turns and by ship 9 turns (actual turn included). In reasonable distance from the distribution center and with good connection to sea and airport. To be reached from the distribution center by truck within three turns (actual turn included). Transportation from the factory will last by plane 4 turns and by ship 10 turns (actual turn included). Far away from anywhere. From the distribution center it will last 4 turns to reach the customer by truck (actual turn included). Transportation from the factory will last by plane 5 turns and by ship 12 turns (actual turn included)

8 5 The costs See app. 3: Costs The costs in the simulation are not all the costs of the company but only the costs connected with logistics with the impact on distribution. Costs are divided into Costs for warehouse and stock Warehouse (costs connected with the building, means of storage and transportation, personal and equipment for steering) Stock (costs created by goods in the warehouses) Costs for transportation (costs for moving goods) Normal transportation (Truck, rail, plane, ship) Surcharge for express delivery Costs for steering Replenishment orders Order control Transportation management Complaints Late deliveries Investments Costs for improvements during the simulation On the difference between necessary and avoidable costs is laid great impact. Avoidable costs can rise in all areas of costing. During the simulation participants will understand the reasons for avoidable costs and learn about the measures to really avoid them. Costing is an essential part of the simulation and has to be done very carefully. You can either use the forms or a laptop computer. Following forms have to be used: Order control Stock and order control Warehouse Stock and order control Distribution Center Logistics Service Provider A, B, C Customer Costing Period n See app. 4 9: Forms for costing - 8 -

9 6 The planning See app. 10: Planning of sales, app. 11: Stock Planning starts with planning of sales for a period. Derived from this planning is the planning of: Capacities for storage in the warehouse and the distribution center Average stock Capacities for transportation Capacities for production Material for production - 9 -

10 7 The roles See App. 18: Job description One group in the simulation consists of 12 different places of work. If there are more than 12 participants some of the places can be split and handled by two persons
