This paper describes a playful activity designed for studying material requirements planning (MRP) in the course of Administracion de Operaciones at an Industrial Engineering program in a Colombian university. The perception of students in the variables of motivation degree and difficulty degree of topics was studied, and MRP was categorized like a priority theme that required a playful activity. The game simulates a short-term purchase process of raw materials of the most important product of an industrial machinery company. Each team should determine the quantities to buy, so that the total cost of inventory management is minimized. The activity includes information related to production planning and demand behavior of the product, the supplier's manufacturing capacity, raw material purchase costs and discounts for anticipated purchases. This practical application represents a purchasing process in a real context. The objective is that students can understand the utility of MRP for the operational performance of the production system.
