Stop struggling with supply chain chaos. We provide expert guidance for the MIT Beer Distribution Game, helping you minimize the bullwhip effect, balance inventory, and achieve top results.
The Beer Distribution Game, developed at MIT, demonstrates the complexities of supply chain dynamics. Students struggle with information delays, demand amplification (the bullwhip effect), and balancing inventory costs against backlog penalties. SimLeap's supply chain experts provide the strategic insight you need to stabilize the chain and minimize total costs across all four roles: Factory, Distributor, Wholesaler, and Retailer.
The Beer Game exposes hidden supply chain dynamics where small demand changes cascade into massive order fluctuations. SimLeap helps you anticipate these pitfalls and develop winning strategies that minimize total system costs.
Managing Information Delays
Orders
take time to flow through the supply chain. We help you understand lead times and plan orders proactively to
avoid both excess inventory and costly stockouts.
Understanding Demand
Amplification
The bullwhip effect causes small retail demand changes to amplify
dramatically upstream. We teach you to recognize this pattern and place stable, rational orders that smooth
the entire chain.
Balancing Inventory vs. Backlog
Costs
Every unit in inventory costs money, but so does every unfilled order. We help
you find the optimal balance that minimizes your total costs across the entire game.
Master your business simulation without the stress. We bridge the gap between complex data and winning strategies to ensure you stay at the top of the leaderboard.
We apply data-driven inventory and ordering strategies tailored to your specific supply chain role to minimize costs and maximize efficiency.
We analyze order flows and inventory levels to prevent stockouts and minimize holding costs, keeping your supply chain lean.
Master the Bullwhip Effect. We help you dampen demand fluctuations to keep total supply chain costs lower than any competitor.
Get detailed breakdowns of your ordering strategy. We explain exactly why backlogs occurred and how to fix them for the next round.
Your privacy is our top priority. We provide a secure and discrete service, allowing you to get the help you need without compromising your academic standing.

Conquer the Beer Distribution Game with proven supply chain strategies. We guide you through each week of the simulation with expert inventory and ordering decisions.
As the Factory, you control production schedules. We help you maintain steady output to buffer against upstream order volatility and minimize production delays.
The Distributor links manufacturing to retail. We optimize your order patterns to smooth demand signals and maintain healthy inventory buffers.
As the Wholesaler, your orders directly impact upstream capacity. We help you place consistent orders that prevent the bullwhip from amplifying through your position.
You see actual customer demand first. We help you interpret demand patterns and place orders that accurately reflect real needs without panic-ordering.
Limited information is a key challenge. We teach you to communicate effectively with your supply chain partners and share demand signals appropriately.
Every inventory unit costs $0.50/week and every backlog unit costs $1.00/week. We optimize your ordering to minimize total costs across the entire game.
