Kayak: Why has the number of employees increased?
This article is intended for students.
In the Kayak simulation, there are 2 ways to increase the number of employees:
- By decision, you can hire engineers, supervisors and secretary/accountant
- The simulation will automatically hire personnel for the other positions:
- Production employees are hired based on the number of rotomoulding ovens and the production capacity.
- The number of sales representatives is based on sales volume and/or number of sales territories.
- The administrative staffing changes are based on the produced quantity. The company’s administrative staff is minimal at the beginning of the simulation and increases in a stepwise fashion, but not in direct proportion to the produced quantity.
