Abstract

In different types of organizations, the estimation of the size of purchase or production lots is one of the frequent problems in the planning of the supply chains in which these productive units participate. This has been called the one-time inventory or "newsagent" model. According to this principle, a playful activity is designed to facilitate the teaching-learning process of a system where the estimation of the lot size for purchase or production is focused on a perishable item or an item with a reduced marketing season, through a method inspired by decision theory. The playful scenario takes place in an army troop, where the teaching and learning of concepts and methods of solution to the problem occurs through the simulation of conditions such as stochastic demand with reduced product and marketing cycles in a planning period for an article.
