Round 2,

For Free Support for Round 1 and 2, email: mbagame2002@gmail.com

1. R&D
Change MTBF for all our products to the maximum amount we can.
Traditional to 19000 (or 17.000 if like to have some net profit right from round 1-2-3)
Low End to 17000 (or 14.000)
High End to 25000 (or 23000)
Performance to 27000 - Keep this 27.000
Size to 21000 (or 20.000)

Use the 2nd option in brackets if you like to have early net profit.
Use the 1st option will have lower net profit in round 1-2-3
Both strategies will have highest sales and net profit from round 4-5 and lead the game all rounds 6-7 and 8.

2. Excel file
Use the Excel file (FREE) to calculate R&D, Marketing and Production.
Modify each product according to the spreadsheet on each segment.
NOTE:
Adjust only 1 round in excel file with Round 0 of Industry Condition report to match your game.
Again, change ONLY ONE ROW. All other numbers will be calculated automatically.

3. How to set Pfmn and SizeAdjust Performance and Size as much as you can to get as close to Ideal Spots as possible.
Note that launching date should be from June to October.

- Traditional - easy to get to Ideal Sport all rounds
- Low End - do not update, need 7 years old to sell well (update 1 time in round 3, and 1 in round 7)
- High End - can update to 50% close to ideal spot in round 1-2-3 and 4. From round 5 to 8 can update 100% to ideal spot. Just adjust in the game. Set to ideal and reduce Pfmn and increase Size to get launching date from June to Oct.
- Performance: easy to update to ideal spots
- Size: easy to update CLOSE to ideal spots

Note: Do not Increase AUTOMATION TOO FAST. Higher automation need longer time to R&D next rounds. (Reasons, you can figure it out, when we have too many machines and higher automation, it requires longer time to do Research and Development with new production line)

4. MARKETING - PRICE

See Excel file for details Price of 8 rounds
- Traditional: close as your competitors or Max price - $ 0.50 and reduce $0.50 each round
- Low end: set the lowest price can afford, lower than all competitors
Do NOT Price war
Do NOT go below 40% in your contribution margin
Do NOT sacrificing demand.
- High end, Performance and Size segments, place your price the highest possible (Max - $ 0.50 and reduce $ 0.50 each round).

Recommendation for round 1
- Traditional at $29.5
- Low End at $21 or 20.5
- High End at $39.50
- Performance $34.5
- Size at $34.50

5. MARKETING - PROMO BUDGET & SALES BUDGET

Do not ever expend more than $2000 on promotion in any product in any give year.
Because diminish returns start at $2000.
- Round 1:
Spend $2000 in Traditional and Low End.
For High End, Performance and Size; spend between $1000 and $1500
Or
Use all 1.200 for each segment.
Or
For the first year you want to spend $1500 in Traditional and Low End.
For high End, Performance and Size; Spend around $1000 - $1500

6. MARKETING - SALES FORECASTING
Use Excel file to calculate Next Year Demand
Get current demand from Courier Report oand multiple it by the growth rate
Or
Multiple your Market Share by Next Year’s Demand
Or
Can use some other formulas post for some guidance.
Or
Can check courier report to see Customer Preference

7. PRODUCTION - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

((Units Sales Forecast) * (1.2) – Inventory on Hand))
Can use 115% in First Round
Note to use 100% in Round 3 (always have a recession in demand in round 3)

Note:
- Some inventory in case we sell more units than we forecast.
- Keep some inventory is better than being out of stock.

8. PRODUCTION - AUTOMATION RATING
- Traditional, increase its automation by 2 points each round until you reach 8 (or even 10)
- Low End, increase to 7-9-10 in first 3 rounds
- High End, increase by 0.5 or 1 point each round, until reach 6. (3-3-3-4-5-6-6-6)
- Performance, increase by 1 or 1.5 each round, until you reach 6 (3-3-3-4-5-6-6-6)
- Size, increase by 0.5 or 1 point each round, until you reach 6 (3-3-3-4-5-6-6-6)

WORKFORCE COMPLEMENT
Always at 100%

BUY/SELL CAPACITY
Keep 2nd Shift Production % between 20% and 50%
SELL:
- Can sell 600 of Traditional in Round 1
- Can sell 300 of High end in Round 1
BUY
- Low end
- Increase each round Capacity based on real results of each round.
BUY
- If you more than 50% of second shift, need to buy capacity
CHECK
- Total capital investment for each round
- If you have capital investment leftover, try to spend it in Automation or Capacity
- If you are spending more than you should, try to sell capacity or not invest as much.
NOTE:
Round 1 - sell some capacity (TR and HE) and finance Automation (600, 300)
Round 1 - can also sell some capacity of Performance and Size (100, 100)

9. HUMAN RESOURCES
- Recruiting Spend; $5000
- Training Hours; 80 Hours
Or
Use $3.000 in round 1-2-3 then increase to $5.000 in all later rounds
Use 40 hours in round 1-2-3 then increase to 80 in all later rounds

10. FINANCE
- Keep 10-20-30-40 million cash in round 1-2-3-4
- Keep about 60 to 80 millions in later rounds
TO AVOID Emergency Loan

- Get Max investment in Round 1-2-3-4
- Max “Issue Stock”
- Max “Issue Long Term Debt”
Because, long term strategies of 8 rounds, use first 4 rounds for expansion, later 4 rounds can lead the game with highest Sales and Net profit.

Round 5-8 CAN
- Retire stock when having too much cash (often from round 6-8)
- Pay very very small Dividends per share
- Retire Long Term Debt when having too much cash (often from round 6-8)

NOTE:
Check Balanced Score Card to see results
Check Proforma Income to see results.

11. TQM
When TQM Starts,
- Spend $1500 on the first round
- Then $1500 on the second round
- Then finally $1000 on the third round.
Or
Use $1.000 for all 10 TQM initiatives for all 4 rounds, total $4.000 for each initiative.

12. NOTE
This is long term strategy game of 8 rounds.
Round 1-2-3 for Investment
Round 4-5 for growing sales and customers
Round 6-7-8 will lead the game with highest results.

AGAIN:
- Go not worry too much if Round 1, 2, and 3 have high Sales but Low Net profit.
- Will have good sales in round 4 and 5
- Will lead the game with both highest sales and net profit all rounds from 6 to 8.
