Beer Game Analysis
Name: Shabei Qian Team #: 15 Position: Retailor Beer Game Report 1. For the first 3 weeks I just ordered the weekly demand because the demand was low and we had enough inventory. When there was a spike and we had potential stock out, I realized that I needed to hold more safety stock, I just ordered 2*weekly demand for each week. When there was a back order, I ordered the # of back order plus weekly demand.

Start from wk18, the entire supply chain realized that we needed more products so they ordered more and I relieved a little from back order. After 3 weeks I actually had no more back order but the income shipment became bigger and bigger. I stopped ordering from wk24 but the shipment kept coming and the inventory holding cost was very high.
