We're working with instructors at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) to model and simulate supply chains supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These supply chain models are used by students studying military logistics at AFIT and the Air Force Logistics Officers School (AFLOS).
Massively Multiplayer Disaster Response Collaboration
As we bump up against the limits of what our planet's ecosystems can handle, the frequency and intensity of natural and human-made disasters will increase exponentially. Second only to the skill and bravery of the people involved in disaster response, the supply chains and logistics that support
Strategic Supply Chains – Improving Battle Strategies
Teams of Air Force officers studying military logistics at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) used simulations to recreate and redesign the supply chains that supported three critical campaigns of World War II. Those campaigns were: 1) British Army's campaign against the Italian and
Challenge Based Learning in Supply Chain Management
Content and information are everywhere nowadays. Anyone can learn anything on the web with easy access. Therefore, traditional teaching and learning methods, which are considered content-centered, are not as effective as they used to be. Students lose their motivation since they are sure they will
Fantastic Corporation – Unexpected Disruptions
CASE STUDY CONCEPT: Managing Supply Chain Risk through Resiliency and Supplier Selection. Global supply chains can suddenly present you with unexpected challenges. They are more unpredictable than local or regional supply chains because there are so many more players involved. And because they
How Humanitarian Organizations Use SCM Globe as Part of their Disaster Response
In the face of a natural disaster, it is important to respond quickly, as this can save lives. One of the greatest challenges in the midst of a natural disaster is to get the necessary supplies to the affected areas quickly and efficiently. This could make the difference between life and death and
Proof of concept project for the U.S. Defense Health Agency
SCM Globe participated in a proof of concept project for the U.S. Defense Health Agency. We added a logistics dimension to other virtual reality (VR) training simulations. Other VR training simulations simulated treating a wounded soldier at a point of injury (POI); or evacuating wounded soldiers by
Improving Supply Chain Performance
SCM Globe lets you quickly define any supply chain, run it in simulations, and see how well it works. You keep improving the design until you get the best performance. Follow these four steps - it will start to seem like second nature - you will start looking at all supply chains using these four
