Abstract
This paper describes experiences with the use of a production simulation game as part of the course “Logistics and Operational Management” at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich. After a short introduction to the context in which the game is used and a description of the game itself, the results are presented and discussed. Even though the students have a similar background when starting the game, the results are very different. In the final section, the results and actions taken by the players during the game are interpreted from a logistics point of view. A consequent process organization was not implemented by any of the groups. Still, very interesting and good improvements have been achieved.
