Abstract

For many students studying supply chain management, managing a well-established supply chain is the direction of their efforts. However, the current supply chain education pays more attention to the cultivation of professional skills and lacks training in overall planning. In view of this, this study developed the "Supply Chain Operation Management Simulation Software", which takes supply chain management as the background, presents marketing strategies, manpower planning, price setting, inventory management, promotional activities, and other business management concepts using network software, and cooperates with learning plans to carry out case simulation lesson plans, so as to make classroom learning more lively through games to improve the lack of traditional static teaching and combine theory and practice, so that students can "learn by doing" Under the training, the business management skills of supply chain management are repeatedly practiced, so that students can experience the fun and hardships of supply chain management, and then evaluate whether they have the characteristics and abilities of entrepreneurship.
