In addition to messages, you can now schedule events that will change the parameters of your games.

You can for example simulate a freight issue which increases the lead time, a quality problem were the stock is reset to 0 for some roles, a change of costs/sale price etc.

Here is how it looks for the players:

As an instructor, you can implement events in the same section as messages, inside a round settings:

You can modify the following parameters as part of an event:

• Current stock,

• Lead time,

• Lead time visibility weeks,

• Lead time variability,

• Stock / backorder costs,

• Sale price,

• Activate/disable the transparent mode,

• Pause the game

If you want to quickly try out events, you can use our latest Chocolate supply chain template, where some events are applied on Round 2 and Round 3.

Some events were also added inside the Vaccines/Healthcare template.
