啤酒游戏是物流管理课程中著名的商业模拟策略类游戏。本文提供了一种教学方法，将游戏的概念融入课程的课程，帮助学生不仅了解管理供应链的挑战，而且还应用从课程中学到的知识来解决复杂的物流问题。采用行动学习法，教学方法被用于本科供应链课程，254名本科生。结果表明，通过使用该策略，学生可以主动获取供应链知识。通过讲座和辅导课程的结合，学生们积极采用新技术，如协作预测系统，供应商管理库存和战略合作伙伴关系，以提高供应链绩效。本文介绍了一种新的教学方法，并在一个供应链项目中进行了评估，使供应链管理的教学具有挑战性和趣味性。
The Beer Game is a famous business simulation game in logistics management courses. This paper provides a teaching method that integrates the game's concept into the curriculum of a course, helping students not only to understand the challenges of managing supply chains, but also to apply knowledge learnt from the course to solve complex logistics problems. Adopting an action learning approach, the teaching method was used in an undergraduate supply chain course with 254 undergraduate students. The results show that by using this strategy, students can actively acquire supply chain knowledge. Using a combination of lectures and tutorial sessions the students proactively adopted new techniques, such as collaborative forecasting systems, vendor-managed inventory and strategic partnering, to improve supply chain performance. This paper introduces a new teaching method and evaluates it in a supply chain programme to make teaching of supply chain management challenging and interesting.
