Massachusetts Institute ERPsim Extended Manufacturing Game Analysis Paper

 

I’m working on a management report and need an explanation to help me study.

Team H

Create
a report that summarizes and discusses your performance in
the six rounds of play in the ERPSim Extended Manufacturing Game on
April 29 and May 4. The report should be structured to include an
introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Like an executive summary, the
report should act as a concise version of a larger report.

  • The
    introduction should be a generally summary of what’s to come. What
    place did you come in? Ok, now entice the reader to want to keep
    reading, by promising to explain why, and by using what?
  • The
    body of your report should focus on the key performance indicators (KPI)
    provided in the end-of-round financial statements (e.g., Total Sales,
    Gross Margin, Net Margin, Round Productivity). Use as few, or as many,
    as you feel you can explain your performance.
  • Each KPI should contain at least
    one visualization. The visualizations are an effective way to
    communicate a large amount of data (especially numeric), but you still
    need to explain why it’s relevant.
  • The conclusion should wrap up
    the story and offer suggestions on how you would do things differently
    to improve your performance.

Most of you have played this
game enough times that this report should write itself. Look at the KPI.
What was your goal? Where did you end up? Why your actual performance
deviated from your expectations? How did the teams ahead of you do?
Create visualizations to support your explanations or arguments. Do that
for each of the KPI that is relevant.
