Objective:
This exercise will help you learn how a supply chain works step by step. You will see how a shortage of materials in one stage can slow down production and affect the final number of products available for customers.

Scenario:
You are the manager of a shoe factory. First, you receive shoe component kits from a supplier. Then, you use these kits to make shoes. After that, the finished shoes are sold to customers. Your job is to build a simulation model to see how the number of component kits and finished shoes changes over 100 days.
