Book Makers
Local company, run at home. Single product of books. Single book store actually taking the product. Small, family-owned.

The Route
Baby steps…
The Process:
The problem…
Next in line…
Added truck delays. Not enough storage. Not enough goods. Not enough storage…
Troubleshooting
Same ol’, Same ol’…
Played around with delays. Also added delays for Paper/Cover. Additionally noticed paper/cover production
massively exceeded demand, so reduced. Results?
Well, Rome wasn’t…
Not enough goods. Not enough storage capacity. Not enough goods…
You know the routine
So close!
Simulation ran for over 30 days.
Success!
Noticed Book Maker had over 4 times needed
storage space. Noticed paper similar. Cover as well. Reduced both to 7,000. Tweaked delays…again.
Reducing:
Oops.
Results?
Much better. 94500k savings Books. 819k savings Paper. Other savings unknown. New Total: 39746.7k.
Results!
Thought 500 on-hand was excessive. Reduced to 200 each. Similarly shrank storage to 2(zeros) instead of
5(zeros). Reduced Paper/Cover storage again. Also reduced quantity on-hand.
Next?
New total: 20002.5k. Savings: 19744.2k!
Final
Had simulation glitches randomly when
refreshing, despite using Chrome. Balancing is a royal pain. Would play as an actual game, if there was an
actual in-game (rather than self-set) goal to achieve in it.
