Oliver Wight will arrange and organise courses for a specific company either on the client's premises or at a convenient location. These courses can either be a private version of the public course, or tailored to suit the client's particular needs. These courses typically cater for up to 20 delegates and can be arranged over a period of one or more days. We also have a programme of 'On Demand' courses, which are public courses that can be delivered at the convenience of our clients.

Some examples of courses held are:

  • A series of two and three day courses delivered to introduce people in a project management/procurement function to the principles of business excellence.
  • A Supply Chain course built around an interactive supply chain which introduced people to the concepts of supply chain optimisation and inventory control.
  • A Data Management course which enabled a company implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to identify all the areas where data needed to be accurate, and assign responsibilities accordingly.
  • A one day Forecasting and Demand Management course.
  • A series of two day courses for a major Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) company for their international ERP implementation teams which covered business planning and sales and operations planning, master scheduling, data accuracy, forecasting and demand management, purchasing and performance measures.
  • A series of one and two day courses delivered to introduce people to the principles of business excellence.

These courses are designed to focus on the delivery of our knowledge on a particular subject matter or area to a specified group of people and they include appropriate workshop and breakout sessions to build upon the understanding of the subject matter or area.

 

Information on the duration, time and fees associated with our private courses is available upon application.
