Many manufacturing firms are dissatisfied with the fulfilment of their logistic objectives. Instead of investing in ever powerful software tools, it is worthwhile to start out by identifying organizational stumbling blocks and knowledge gaps among employees. For this reason, the Fraunhofer IPA analyzed the training activities in manufacturing businesses when introducing ERP or MES systems. Knowledge gaps point to the need for training the logistics skills of the production operators. This paper describes a simulation game developed for this purpose, which can be used as a building block of the logistics knowledge management of manufacturing firms.
