A game-based approach towards facilitating decision making for perishable products: An example of blood supply chain

作者：

Highlights：

• A computer game that mimics the supply chain of a perishable product (blood units) is developed.

• Teaching scenarios are examined aiming at improving the performance of the supply chain.

• Students/professionals understanding of complex principles of supply chains is enhanced.

• Students/professionals trained in making decisions and familiarize themselves with business-driven, graphical model.
