Adopt a broad differentiator strategy, distinguishing products through design, performance, and accessibility; maintain leadership across segments with ongoing R&D and premium pricing inspired by Apple.
Build and customize a spreadsheet to map ideal product positions across rounds, apply drift-rate forecasts for performance and size, and feed results into research and development for this Capsim simulation.
Set your production schedule using a 1.1x unit sales forecast minus current inventory, then adjust first and second shift capacity with automation to meet demand across rounds.
First of all, in this tab you want to achieve 3 things and 3 things only... dont overthink it and dont over do it. Aim for these 3 things. If you achieve these 3 things you will be fine in the rest of your ratios.
BETWEEN 1.8 AND 2.8 OF LEVERAGE (Ideally 2.2)
BETWEEN 30 DAYS AND 90 DAYS OF WORKING CAPITAL (Ideally 60)
POSITIVE CASH POSITION AT THE END OF THE YEAR (Around 10 Million or more)

This course will help you make the first round of decisions and onwards and teach you some tricks to navigate the simulation as easy as possible for your rounds to come.
Please note that this course covers ALL ROUNDS round of the simulation but all rounds are dependent from each other, if you are already underway and you already completed your first round then the numbers in this course might not fit 100% your simulation but the concepts will still be very helpful.
This course is also applicable for the 2026 Version
During this course you will be able to accomplish the following:
