Capsim Master Class
This course is designed to take the mystery out of Capsim and replace guesswork with clarity. Instead of drowning in calculations, you’ll focus on what really matters: strategy, decision-making, and consistent execution. The heavy math is handled for you with streamlined spreadsheets, leaving you free to concentrate on the business logic behind every choice.
Across the simulation, you’ll learn how to:
R&D: Design, update, and position products that customers actually want.
Marketing: Master pricing, promotion, and forecasting to capture demand.
Production: Schedule output, balance capacity and automation, and avoid overproduction.
Finance: Raise capital, manage leverage and liquidity, and avoid emergency loans.
TQM & HR: Use the benefits that these modules offer to the maximum.
