Supply Chain ManagementSummary:
The Mortgage Game is a service oriented supply chain, with a make-to-order environment. The goal of this game is to minimize personnel (capacity) cost. You control one part of the mortgage processing, for instance the requesting part. You have to decide how much capacity is necessary, based on the backlog of mortgage requests. In this game this is called setting a target capacity. You can adjust capacity by hiring or firing people. However it costs time and money to adjust capacity. You need time to hire new employees, to increase capacity. Further you have to give notice to employees if you want to fire them. The people that work for you try to process as much requests as possible. Processed requests are put in the backlog one link downstream. Assume that every mortgage request is processed eventually. Further every part of the chain is another company, and they don't share information about the number of request each one handled.# Players:
