Summary of business Simulation

To deepen understanding of the actual business operation process of production enterprises and fully understand the management science of actual business operations and the brutal competition in the market, I participated in a game organized by the company yesterday afternoon to simulate business operations, the topic is: production procurement plan and inventory management. Briefly describe the game resources and rules:

1. The total resources include: Customer Center (supply of sales orders), material Center (supply of raw materials), fund management center (charge management fee and provide loans)

2. There are six companies that perform simulated operations. Each company has six roles: CEO, sales manager, purchase manager, production manager, financial manager, and Database Manager. Because of the limited number of people, each group contains six people, one person and one role. Each 8-digit period is counted as one cycle. The delivery period should be taken into account for the sales pull order, and the delivery period should be considered for the procurement order.

After an afternoon of fierce battles, the final result was that all the six companies suffered losses. Some people may not believe this result, but it is true. Every group is busy, but the result is a loss. After evening summary, the following points are summarized:

I. Production Enterprise operations are mainly divided into two lines: reasonable procurement plan and reasonable fund management.

2. Enterprise Operation focuses on existing risks:

1. Customer pressure: may fail to receive

2. inventory pressure: leading to poor turnover

3. Effective internal management (controlling the timely reporting of money withdrawal and reporting of tickets in time), the company should not be out of touch in all stages and should be closely linked

4. Set up safe inventory, MRP calculation, and make the purchase plan after the purchase is made

5. Check whether the sales order can be produced or delivered on schedule.

6. Make appropriate purchase plans to avoid inventory backlog

Iii. Effective Operation

1. Finance should fully calculate receivables and payables in each cycle, so as to have an accurate grasp of the funds in the next cycle

2. Keep the management fee and stick to it when the turnover is not urgent

3. After MRP calculation, the purchase plan should be made as accurate as possible based on the available amount and safety stock to avoid excessive resource occupation by raw materials.

4. Availability = existing stock + in-transit-available volume

5. Team awareness: all departments of the company should cooperate effectively to avoid the vicious cycle of "sales-production-procurement-capital-sales.

Of course, this is something I personally come up with. It is very simple for business operations, but I think I still have some gains, and everyone seems simple, however, it is very difficult to put it into an enterprise to make an effective cycle of the chain "sales-production-procurement-finance. However, through this game, I have probably learned some of the secrets of enterprise operations. Of course, it may only be counted as an entry point, but if I want to do business in the future, this is also a small example. If you have a unique opinion, please follow up.
