Courseware simulation can help student to understand technical courses using an innovative approach. In this paper, we proposed the design of computer based courseware simulation to teach students on the concepts underlying supply chain topics as well as to enhance their problem-solving skills. A prototype called Operation and Supply Mini Simulator (OSMS) covers specific supply chain topics such as inventory models, purchasing and material requirement planning. OSMS mimicking the graphing calculator, enabling students to compute and visualize graph data for multi-mode analysis.
