The Scenario
You're the inventory manager at TechMart. Black Friday week is coming and you must order inventory for 4 product categories across 5 days (Mon-Fri). You'll see historical sales charts to guide your decisions.
Cost Rules:
Overstock: $5/unit/day storage | Stockout: $50/missed sale penalty | Each unit sells for $100 profit if matched
Overstock: $5/unit/day storage | Stockout: $50/missed sale penalty | Each unit sells for $100 profit if matched
You'll place orders in 3 rounds: Early Week (Mon-Tue), Peak Days (Wed-Thu), and Black Friday itself. A surprise event mid-game will test your adaptability!
Round 1: Early Week (Mon-Tue)
Review last year's sales trends, then order inventory for Monday and Tuesday.
Order Units for Each Day
Tip: Last year's average daily sales are shown on the chart. Order wisely!
