What students practice

Capy Kicks plays like Capy Mart, but every system is part of a supply chain. Students order raw materials from suppliers with different prices and lead times, keep machines fed, move finished goods to the shelves, and eventually supply a mall across town. The nightly report adds a supply chain scorecard to the income statement: fill rate, lost sales, machine bottlenecks, materials on hand, and the Mall's orders compared with its real sales.
