Global Supply Chain Network Optimization & Resilience Strategy Challenge

Participants assume the role of Supply Chain Strategy Managers responsible for redesigning and optimizing a multinational supply chain network operating across multiple countries, suppliers, distribution centers, and customer markets. The organization is experiencing demand variability, rising transportation costs, supplier disruptions, inventory imbalances, sustainability pressures, and limited end-to-end visibility. Drawing on concepts from demand forecasting, global network design, strategic sourcing, operations planning, logistics optimization, supplier relationship management, risk management, and digital transformation, participants evaluate existing operations, identify performance bottlenecks, and develop an enterprise-wide supply chain transformation strategy that enhances resilience, operational efficiency, and customer service.

Throughout the simulation, participants forecast demand and supply requirements, redesign global supply networks, evaluate sourcing and procurement strategies, optimize inventory and internal operations, improve transportation and reverse logistics performance, strengthen supplier and stakeholder collaboration, assess enterprise supply chain risks, and implement digital and AI-enabled supply chain capabilities. The exercise replicates real-world executive decisionmaking where organizations must balance cost, service, resilience, sustainability, and profitability across complex global supply chain ecosystems.
