Winning Decisions is a unique simulation which closely replicates the key functions of a manufacturing organization. Sales & Marketing, R&D, Production, Purchase, Finance, Raw Material Stores, Finished Goods Stores and Business Planning are all represented.
In this simulation, teams are given their own ‘companies’ to run over a 10-year period and compete with each other to make their businesses the most profitable. Teams have to study market forecasts and plan their strategies based on their current production capacity, raw material availability, financial projections etc.
Teams plan for long-term growth through investing in production capacity enhancement, new product development, opening new markets for the business etc. while keeping a close eye on their financial realities.
Each year the teams close the books i.e. generate their Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets. As the business progresses they analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their companies through interpretation of their financial data and calculating key indicators like Debt-Equity analysis, Contribution Ratios, Cash Flow, Return on Equity, Return on Assets etc.
