The U.S. Department of Defense is embarking on an initiative to create a more agile and adaptable medical force. Healthcare depends on medical logistics, and military medical logistics needs to change and adapt to handle a future environment characterized by volatility, uncertainty and complexity.
Simulations Create a Winning Supply Chain
Gonzalo Florez-Giraldo is working on his degree in global supply chain management and logistics at Houston Community College. A degree in supply chain management opens up a lot of opportunities, because Houston is a hub of commerce with its busy seaport and its location at the center of a
Supply Chain Simulation in 6 Easy Steps
Supply chain simulations are usually so complicated only a few experts know how to use them. But SCM Globe simulations are both easy and accurate. That makes them useful to a wide audience of academic, professional and business people. Anyone wishing to teach about supply chains, or analyze the
Engaging Process for Supply Chain Learning
SCM Globe is Used in Community Colleges, Universities, and Graduate Schools Combine interactive supply chain simulations with readings and lectures to bridge the gap between theory and reality. Simulations provide students with a hands-on laboratory where they turn theoretical knowledge into

A Multiplayer Online Game of Supply Chain Management
Let’s investigate a high-level conceptual design for applying game mechanics to coordinate the actions of a network of separate companies that all do business together. These companies are manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors, and retailers, and they are all members of a common supply
SCM Globe Simulation Concepts
As the saying goes, “It’s not what you know, but what you can remember when you need it.” Since there is an infinite amount of detail in any situation, the trick is to find useful models that capture the salient facts and provide a framework to organize the rest of the relevant details. SCM Globe
