The key learning’s in this programme are taught around five sets of goal setting processes: market share; business configuration goals; return on assets; return on sales, and return on investment. It explores benchmarking and the requirement to adjust operational plans in light of competition and market conditions.

Between four and six teams each form a manufacturing company and compete with each other. The key learning outcomes in this simulation revolve around goal setting; business planning and using variance to manage outcomes. Each team reports publically and therefore benchmarking is able to be implemented. This also means that the insights are multiplied so as not to apply merely to an individual’s team, but to each team in the simulation.
