Operations management game

RPG, city-building, strategy games, arcades, and others are all genres of games. Operations management as it is taught in university can be turned into a game genre. in fact, it is actually a game genre because simulation games like sim city and others use artifacts of operations management theories but at Godda game we think that more emphasizes should be given to operations management in games with the aim of teaching how to optimize and manage processes and system. Games like Factory are surfing this wave then why business schools of the world aren't using the medium of games for teaching operations management to students. During my second year of mechanical engineering and production bachelor's, I loved simulating plant processes and detecting bottlenecks into these processes and I think many more like me still like it.

Google search games about factories here

Now that we have ever-increasing digital resources for building interactive gameplay that introduce to students the core theories and practices of operations management and My point is that operations management is not only about manufacturing goods and delivering services but it also applies to software engineering what should make tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and all these tech giants give more importance to operations management theorists and practitioners.

The games about brands and tech companies, that are described here, are all aiming at achieving this goal of helping people level up their operations management skills.

Making business administration folks, as well as engineers, have fun engaging themselves in Operations management Games is also the goal of Godda Games. But delving deeper into the field of operations management is key to success for building such kinds of games and as an alone one-man venture this is not an obvious and easy task. Narrowing the field of application can be a solution for building faster a working experience, at this time there are two gameplay experiences that could be implemented and tested. The one is about the tech industry while the other is about the airline industry. The games to build are not for Godda Games but for players then it will help to know the one that players love most. An operations management about the tech industry or an operations management game about the airline industry?

What one of these two do you like most?
