The Distribution Game Application

The distribution game allows the user to determine inventory policies in a multi-echelon distribution system. The macintosh version is a port of the PC version which was created under the direction of Professor Peter L. Jackson at Cornell. You can find the PC version, as well as more information about the game, at http://www.orie.cornell.edu/~jackson/distgame.html.
