研究目的
To explore an integrated decision analytic, control theory, and system dynamics approach to the beer distribution game that recognizes the value of available (imperfect) information and considers the value of perfect information to provide the optimal strategy.
研究成果
The analysis demonstrates that better understanding of the system and use of available information leads to significantly lower expected costs than identified in prior studies. The integrated analytical approach provides a strategy that can be easily implemented in game play without any additional information, as demonstrated in a real-world application.
研究不足
The study is based on a simplified supply chain model (the beer distribution game), which may not capture all complexities of real-world supply chains. The strategy's effectiveness in more complex or dynamic environments is not explored.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a discrete event simulation to characterize optimal decisions and overall team scores for the situation of actual available information and perfect information in the beer distribution game.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focuses on the beer distribution game, a popular management simulator, to explore the integrated approach.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The game involves a supply chain with four players: the retailer, wholesaler, distributor, and factory, with initial conditions and order cards.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The strategy involves maintaining 0 inventory for upstream players and using available information to minimize costs.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzes the impact of the strategy on team scores and compares it with prior benchmarks.
