Abstract
Purpose: Logistics and distributions activities require high costs although these are non value added to products, but these activities for cement industry which has mature on production technology, influences the competition to struggle the market segment. Outbond logistics of cement industry, need to perform daily decisions either strategically or technically. Design/methodology/approach: logistics and distribution aspects have to be managed effectively in order to avoid shortage or stockout in some market and overstock in others. A simulation approach will be run to imitate the competition of the Indonesian cement industry with multiplayer players to simulate the performance and cost of logistical decisions. Findings: A new simulation game was developed to imitate the characteristics of outbond logistics on cement industry. This simulator simulates several companies that compete in the same market in some areas in which all player are decision makers. This model is expected to be used to perform various "what-if" scenarios to know the behavior of decision makers in the face of logistics and distribution problems. Research limitations/implications (if applicable): We demonstrate the players as several companies which have some division of each company to compete the same region and market. Practical implications (if applicable): This simulation game is expected to be used for academic in learning of logistics activities and can be used for new employees in training activities Originality/value: The goal is simulate SCM collaboration performance and cost as results of logistics decision
