About
Learn supply chain by living it.
Master supply chain management through interactive storytelling and strategic decision-making under pressure.
Our mission
Supply chain management is one of the most critical — and most misunderstood — disciplines in modern business. Textbooks teach theory, but real understanding comes from experience: watching inventory pile up after a demand spike, or scrambling for an alternative supplier when your primary one fails.
Supply Chain Disaster bridges that gap. The best way to learn supply chain strategy is to live it — making real-time decisions under pressure, seeing the consequences play out, and adapting chapter by chapter.
How the game works
Each playthrough takes you through 10 chapters across 40 quarterly turns. Every scenario runs the same five-phase loop — Assess, Strategize, Implement, Monitor, Debrief — from bullwhip effects and supplier disruptions to demand forecasting and global crisis management.
