• Resumen

  • The focus of this paper is on the design and application of a new original decision-making support tool for the selection of logisticsand supply chain management (SCM) educational games. The design of a decision support tool for the selection of these games(hereafter, DST SLSCMG) was followed by a case study which demonstrates the application of the DST SLSCMG, and theevaluation of the use of the games. The proposed DST SLSCMG is based on the database of 55 identified logistics and SCMgames and components, which enable performing a multi-criteria analysis. It is applied at an engineering school for the selection ofthe most suitable games for two logistics and SCM-related courses. The results of the evaluation of the use of the games showedthat students were very satisfied with the games selected with the help of the DST SLSCMG. The new DST SLSCMG offered herecan help interested educators to assess the available logistics and SCM games and select the most suitable ones.
