Formation Stocks Et Approvisionnements (Serious Game)

Overview

The training program is based on a serious game played over two seasons. Each team represents a company responsible for determining and implementing its inventory and procurement strategy for a range of five products.

The game is supplemented by an overview of inventory management principles and procurement rules.

A more detailed description of the training program is available for download: HERE.

Objectives

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Identify and understand the theory and mechanisms of inventory management and item categorization;

• Understand the impact of inventory management decisions on the company’s service level and working capital;

• Use common terminology related to inventory management;

• Highlight the complexity of the roles of procurement specialists and inventory managers for participants outside the supply chain;

• Prepare and support the company in implementing best practices for item categorization and inventory management.

Target Audience and Accessibility

Through its educational approach based on a simplified business simulation, this training course is designed for both company employees who deal with operational inventory management issues and individuals who are directly affected by the financial consequences of such management and need to understand all its mechanisms.

This training is accessible to people with disabilities. Our disability liaison, Yannis Zaïtouni, who is trained to support these situations, will work with you prior to the training to explore possible accommodations (teaching methods, materials, and procedures).

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites, though a basic understanding of how a business operates : including purchasing, inventory, and sales—is desirable.

 Training Performance Rate

Satisfaction Rate: 90,75% – This rate is based on training sessions delivered in 2025 and 2026.
Each participant evaluates several criteria using a score from 0 to 4.
The total score is then compared to the maximum possible score.
The average score given here is therefore 3.63/4.

Dropout Rate: 0% – No participant has ever withdrawn from this training once started.

Assessment Methods

Participants are assessed through a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ) at the end of the training.

A certificate is issued to each participant at the end of the training, with three possible levels:

• A – Knowledge mastered
• B – Knowledge acquired
• C – Knowledge not acquired
