The Fresh Connection (TFC) is a supply chain learning experience for professionals. In a virtual, web-based environment, you are challenged to save a fruit juice maker from its downfall.

Advanced simulation software calculates the consequences of the strategic and tactical decisions a team makes from one round to the other. Which team will get its supply chain to perform best? Which team will produce the highest return in investment?

With "The Fresh Connection" participants will have all the benefits from a steep learning curve. They will experience what it is like to design and manage a modern supply chain.

How to make a strategy work in the practice, how to convince teammates with thorough analyses and without getting lost in detail, and learn how to cooperate and make decisions with the entire supply chain in mind, not just their own department.

One of the most important things participants of the game will experience is if they cooperate and make decisions with the entire supply chain in mind, they will yield the best results-both in terms of customer satisfaction and return in investment. This acquired experience goes way beyond conventional learning in a classroom and textbook.

The team who makes the highest return on investment wins. This can only be done by investing solely in what really matters and making the right supply chain choices.

Duration of the simulation is either 1-2 days (including facilitation and training lessons) or with competing teams as a challenge with a duration of up to 6 weeks. In the challenge one round (representing 6 months in real life) will be played by week including realistic events and challenges per round.

The 1-2 days simulation is very successful also as team building even. Please ask us for more references!
