Capsim Task 1
Capstone Simulation Maximization
Strategy Suggestions
It is difficult to write a briefing, it has to be shown but these suggestions will definitely help.
Designate one person as note taker.
The simulation does not say to have a person in TQM but you do need one.. The CEO, the next day after meeting, compares screen shots, if they are the same as you agreed – the CEO submits round. The first few rounds actually dictate the end. By round five – the game is over. Those that set themselves up properly in the first four rounds pass. The remainder have to repeat the simulation. We found that the computer gets confused. Wait a day and compare screen shots.
My team,
I had been on three teams. My first team – the other students dropped the course. I learned a little on my own. The instructor, put me on a new team. I did not have the correct team codes and my team had done the practice round before I got codes so I was put on a third team. I had the simulation pretty well down !!
My team misunderstood me, I had a water leak / flood at my house and a convention training to attend. I noted that I would not be available MUCH for a few days. They did the first few rounds and not as I would have. My team did however, took a different strategy and I made it work. It worked fair because of great profits on high end, performance sensors.
Do as I say, not as we did.
Round 1
Everybody starts out the same.
FINANCE
Your stock price is high so maximize it -- BORROW!! You can write off the interest !!
Production
On the Low end and traditional sensors, maximize every round the automation improvement.
Try and get to ten ASAP. Increase High end ADAM automation also in Round 2.
There are five sensors. It is difficult to keep all five sensors. Take Strategy 12.6, Low, Traditional and High end. Sell only three sensors.
Produce 100 Adam, Aft and Agape
Do one shift of nearly maximum production about 60% in low and traditional sales.
SELL OFF all but 100 capacity of
