Note: The Sim will become open to “play” for this ungraded trial round during regular class time on Oct 14th after you are introduced to whole Sim assignment in class. Trial round will remain open after class until Oct 15th Fri 11:59pm…with up to 5 rounds…you will have plenty of time and opportunity to “mess around” and become familiar in a “low-risk” setting.

This short Pre-Work write-up assignment is to incentivize you to read the background on your business, explore the Simulation with the mindset of you being the President of Backbay Battery Inc., start (its going to be a journey!) exploring the layout/data-sets and thereby the decisions involved…before you start exploiting the data-sets and info to do well according to your expectations.
