with Excel file for Sales Forecast & Production Calculation
1. General winning strategies for simulation exam (XM)
1.1. Overview of the Simulation Exam
Simulation Exam (XM) is quite similar to Simulation game. The general strategies to win the exam simulation is to R&D new products, name after the old products and try to locate their market segments, this will make calculation of sales forecast and production more easily. This game has four product segments. Thrift is similar to low end, core is similar to traditional, nano is similar to size and elite is similar to performance. The marketing, automation and capacity is important to win the simulation. We compete with 03 computer control companies, each will focus on specific segment, therefore we often can not defeat each company in one segment but we can lead in all segments with much higher total sales and net profit. So, the winning strategies are adding new products and applying the reasonable strategies of marketing and production, support by finance and human resource, TQM strategies and win the game in all 4 rounds.
First step is to download industry condition report, then use the number from industry condition report to put in first line in excel file. The formula automatically calculates the strategies for all 4 years (4 rounds). We will use strategy 2 to win the simulation in 4 rounds.
1.2. Using the Excel file to support all 4 rounds
With the excel file, we can keep track of all rounds update and R&D products, keep updating products as close as possible to ideal spots. Also, the excel file will support calculating prices, sales forecast for each product in each round, as well as calculating productions for each product each round, this is the key to win the game. This simulation for exam has 4 product segments: Thrift, Core, Nano and Elite. We add 4 new products as close to ideal spots of each segment as possible, and also update the old products, for each segment we will have two products supporting each other and can sell better than competitors. This is zero sum game, so when we can gain higher sales, we can compete better.
* Drift rates are the following, which is put in excel already
Segment/ Perf / Size
Thrift +0.5 -0.5
Core +0.8 - 0.8
Nano +0.8 -1.1
Elite +1.1 -0.8
* Also, we adjust product each round using adjustment to get closer to Ideal spot.
We need to check and make sure products match their segments
We also see the details of customer buying criteria for each segment from Industry Condition Report or Courier Report.
We have prices and MTBF for each product as follows:
- Thrift: Price 22, MTBF: 18.000 (17.000)
- Core: Price 30, MTBF: 20.000 (19.000)
- Nano: Price 38 and MTBF: 22.000 (21.000)
- Elite: Price 42 and MTBF: 24.000 (23.000)
We also keep track of prices for all the four rounds as follows:

2. Sample Winning Strategies
2.1. Round 1 Strategies
R&D
For R&D, we add 4 new products in all the 4 segments, which are close to the ideal spot and can sell well from round 2. Try to control the launching date early next year, so we have enough time to sell new products. Round 1 and 2, we will get normal sales, from round 3 and 4 we will get much higher sales than all competitors.
Note:
- We can also select to add 3 new products in 3 segments and still win the game.
- We can also select to add 2 new products in 2 segments and still win the game.

Marketing decisions
For marketing decisions, we apply 1.500 for sales and promotion budget.
Also, using the excel file for calculating the sales forecast and production for round 1.
We can add 10% because we have good product and also good price, high promo and sales budget.

QUICK Q&A for CompXM (Update 2018)
R & D - Should do
Download Industry Condition Report
Add Round 0 numbers into Excel file, Excel file will automatically calculated Ideal Spots for All products (4 to 8) in all 4 segments: Thrift, Core, Nano and Elite for all 4 years.
Tip:
- Thrift and Core need 2 years to update to ideal spots
- Nano and Elite can update to ideal spot right from round 1
- Should add new products in Nano and Elite
- Also should add new products in Thrift can Core
- Both strategies can win the game
Tip:
Elite and Nano- Max MTBF
Core and Thrift- 3,000-4,000 lower than the max (depending on competition always be better than them)
Tip:
Can use 18.000 - 20.000 - 22.000 and 24.000 for MTBF for 4 segments
Marketing:
Price - you want it to be about a 40% contribution margin if possible
Elite and Nano - Max Price
Core and Thrift - A couple of dollars above the others (be competitive but keep higher due to your higher MTBF)
Sales/promo budget:
- round 1: 1500
- round 2: 1500
- round 3: 1400
- round 4: 1300
Tip:
If you like high sales and net profit right from round 1, can use 1.200 - 1.400 - 1.600 and 2.000 in 4 rounds.
Note that round 1, 2 can have high sales and some net profit, because of strong investment in R&D, new products, add new capacity. Round 3-4 will have both highest sales and net profit, leading the game.
How to calculate Sales forecast: the formula is as follows
Benchmark prediction * .55 = sales forecast (not so good)
Last round units sold x segment growth (good)
Note to check suggestions to adjust forecast, also check customer preference.
ProductionSales forecast * 1.15 - inventory in hand = production schedule (if you have inventory on hand)
Sales forecast * 1.20 = production on hand (if you do not have inventory on hand)
Capacity:
