| Abstract: | Managers are regrettably ignorant of the fact that their business organisations are 'designable'. But recently, concepts such as business re-engineering and systems thinking, coupled with advances in methods of quantifying business systems, have enabled managers to scrutinise their business systems afresh. The authors use a well-known logistical system - the 'beer game' - to illustrate these re-engineering concepts and tools in a multi-stage production and distribution system involving a single brand of beer. |
