OMG! - Operations Management Game: A Customizable Serious Simulation Board Game for Learning the Core Principles of Operations Management

Operations Management Game (OMG!) is the first customizable serious simulation board game. OMG! is designed to help students, managers and experts learn core principles of operations management in a simulated production line using physical game components on top of a table with a group of players. This “physical” type of serious simulation game is known as table-top game or board game OMG! is an example of a serious simulation game (SSG), i.e. a game that represents a real-world system and is designed for the purpose of learning and problem-solving. In SSGs, participants are immersed in a simulated learning environment that is risk free yet challenging at the same time. This environment creates an ideal place for testing decisions and learning from feedback without the costly disruption of a real system. In this book, you will find how to design, customize and play the OMG! by using off-the-shelves material yourself.
