What is The Lemonade Game™?

Supply chain concepts through a simple, practical business challenge.

The Lemonade Game™ is an interactive supply chain learning experience in which participants make practical decisions around demand, sourcing, inventory, cost, service and disruption. It is designed to make supply chain concepts easier to understand by connecting them to a simple, familiar business challenge.
