InTime game : development of a serious game for awareness and training on the inTime project

inTime is a project commissioned by the European community aimed at reducing late deliveries in manufacturing networks. The expected results of the application of inTime is a sensible increase in the efficiency of the network. As a partner of the project, Politecnico di Milano has to develop a serious game for training and dissemination purposes. This work reports what has been done to develop the inTime serious game. After a first presentation of the inTime project, it is introduced the theoretical base of serious games and experiential learning that supports our work. The framework for the game design process is then presented and followed step by step to describe each phase of the game development. The Beta version of the game is described in detail and, as a conclusion, the future developments necessary in order to achieve a final version are proposed.
