# Supply Chain Finance

## Overview

Supply chain finance teaching demo where students adjust revenue, supplier count, payment timing, and receivables assumptions to discuss cash conversion pressure and funding opportunities across the operating cycle.

## Learning Objectives

- Explain the main quant decision that Supply Chain Finance is designed to support.
- Use Annual revenue, Days sales outstanding to test how different assumptions change the scenario.
- Interpret Output and Interpretation, What outputs mean in plain language and connect them to an action or conclusion.
- State one limitation, risk, or governance consideration before using the result in a real decision.

## Run Modes

- Browser

## Expected Setup / Startup Time

- Starts immediately in browser with no installs, no API keys, and classroom-safe defaults.

## Demo Type

- Interactive browser demo

## Files in This Folder

- `app.js`
- `index.html`
- `README.md`
- `style.css`

## How To Run

- Browser: open `index.html`.

## How To Use The Demo

1. Choose the run mode that fits the class: Browser.
2. Review the default assumptions before changing anything.
3. Change one or two inputs, then use `Run the main action`.
4. Read Output and Interpretation first, then compare any supporting metrics, charts, or AI text.
5. Capture one insight, one limitation, and one action recommendation.

## Inputs

- `Annual revenue` changes one part of the scenario; increase or decrease it deliberately and watch how the output shifts.
- `Days sales outstanding` changes one part of the scenario; increase or decrease it deliberately and watch how the output shifts.
- `Key suppliers` changes one part of the scenario; increase or decrease it deliberately and watch how the output shifts.
- `Payment terms` changes one part of the scenario; increase or decrease it deliberately and watch how the output shifts.

## Buttons / Actions

- Use the main run or simulate action to compute the scenario after inputs are set.
- Use export or reset actions, when present, to compare runs or return to a classroom-safe baseline.

## Outputs

- Students should read the working-capital and cash-cycle outputs as an operating-finance story, not just a set of isolated metrics.
- Pay attention to how supplier and receivables timing together affect funding need and flexibility.

## What To Notice

- Look for invoice timing, buyer risk, supplier risk, and financing cost
- Observe how working-capital benefits change when payment terms or discount rates shift
- Note that supply-chain finance should balance liquidity gains against counterparty and reputational risk
- Compare the headline output with supporting views such as Output and Interpretation, What outputs mean before drawing a conclusion
