Sailor Ranger in PPIC GAME 2010

One of my study in industrial engineering is PPIC (Production Plan Inventory Control). We learn how to control finished good inventory to satisfied sales division, control raw material inventory to satisfied production division, also not too much to save the inventory cost but still have to fulfill all of the customer demand. We find out that in many case, save inventory cost also will enhance the profit as much as have a higher number of sales. So, PPIC is important in a company. PPIC is a push system, whereas there is Kanban as pull system that we will learn next year. Both in a GAME.

It is pretty interesting to learn PPIC in a game, but the game is not easy in fact. It is kinda a car manufacture simulation. We have to count, forecast, simulate, learn document flow and many other, just as if it is real. And, oh, don't forget those excel counting things such as MRP, MPS, etc. But, at least we still could have fun and the game will make us never forget the knowledge. Competition raise our desire to win and learn more. Implement strategy, working in a team. I guess we gain a lot here. If you want to find out more about PPIC, you may go to here www.ppicgame.com . Industrial Engineering of University of Indonesia also held PPIC Game for company, basically is the same just different at who join the game, hehe.

It is  great to work in team with my SAILOR RANGER anyway. Proud to work with them, and they make all the effort worth to fight for. Here they are, Ricky as PPIC, Me as Sales & Purchasing, Irvany as GBJ, Echa, Fadhil and Fitri Yulianti as GBB. Alex, Rizal, Friska as Work Station also Fitri Farid and Ayu Wulandari as Supllier. Pretty much a system, right? Next year we will be a PPIC Coach and Adjudicator. Watch and See!
