The objective of this 3-day workshop is for participants to fully understand that there is a proven, defined mathematically-based methodology that can be applied to their specific environment that will allow them to transition from their current state to a true Demand–Driven Value Chain.
Students participate in several hands-on exercises that demonstrate the difference between forecast-driven pushed-based (MRP) supply chain approach vs. a Demand-Driven Pull Replenishment-Based Value Chain strategy.
These differences include:
- Interval planning vs. traditional cycles of SIOP planning
- Replenishment execution vs. lead time management of supply
- Customer integration vs. forecast technologies
The workshop incorporates real-world examples from various industries including: industrial manufacturing, high-tech electronics, consumer products, medical devices, and several others that have successfully implemented a Demand-Driven Value Chain.
