Bindz
With Bindz, your students get to manage the supply chain of an adhesives manufacturing company while facing various crises affecting its operations.
Some of these crises are triggered by the students’ decisions made during the simulation, some by their inaction when certain situations present themselves and some others happen regardless of their managerial skills.
This Supply Chain Management simulation has your students playing in teams of up to four players per team in three different game modes described below.
Students are placed in a decision-making environment based on real-world business cases and allows them to advance their knowledge in a fun, engaging, and risk-free environment.
Professor Perks
Visual data Dashboards
Dashboards provide insights into how students are playing, including trends over time and decisions made. Detailed graphs show how teams are performing against their peers.
ABILITY to Game Parameters
Manual vs Automatic: Choose if you want the game to advance automatically on the hour, or manually advance the simulation yourself playing and pausing only during classroom hours for example.
Four Different Game Modes: Select how your students will interact the simulation and with each other.
One Section - Unknown Peers: each student will manage only one section of the supply chain but they will not know who are their partners managing the other sections.
One Section - Known Peers: each student will manage only one section of the supply chain and will also know what team they belong to.
All Sections - Known Peers: each student has access to all of the sections of the supply chain and will also know what team they belong to.
