Beer Game

rituals, such as not stepping on the cracks in the pavement or needing to see three red cars in a row, designed to 'ensure' that we will get our maths right that day or that we won't get into troUble. At a certain level, such rituals are known to be a game, and not being able to carry them out does not cause anxiety. More importantly, they are seen as fun.

non-linear integer programming optimisation problem, Zavanella and Zanoni (2009) propose an optimisation model, Al-Ameri et al. (2008) propose a mixed integer-linear programme. On the other hand, Yu et al. (2009) address the problem as the Stackelberg Game where the manufacturer is the leader.

montre une amplification de la demande en amont de la chaîne logistique alors que la demande réelle a seulement subi un changement mineur en aval de la chaîne. Cherchant à modéliser le phénomène, Sterman (1989) a mis au point le jeu de la bière (Beer Game) dont plusieurs versions informatisées existent aujourd’hui. Celui-ci montre la dynamique d’une chaîne logistique globale en reproduisant les facteurs d’amplification liés au manque de visibilité de la demande réelle, à la taille des lots de commande
