Supply Chain Planning
Overview
Traditional supply chain planning tools and techniques are no longer sufficient for today’s business environment, where consumers and customers have an increasing role in driving business strategy. Collaboration throughout the supply chain is essential. This workshop explains what is required to operate and implement an advanced supply chain planning process that plans, manages and ensures executional excellence throughout the supply chain from suppliers through to customers and consumers. And, it shows you how to prepare your organisation for the introduction of optimisation events and processes, as supply matures or changes over time.
What is this workshop about?
This workshop shows the cost and service level benefits that can come from fully integrating internal and external supply chains. You will learn how to develop your processes and the capability of your people to create an advanced planning culture, which will take your organisation to the next stage of supply chain development. You will be able to evaluate the maturity of your existing processes – their current level of capability; how they compare to your customers and suppliers; and how can you build on that capability, using performance measures aligned across the supply chain to drive improvement. Crucially, the workshop looks at the behaviours, roles and responsibilities required for effective supply chain planning - who is accountable for what, and how they should interface with corresponding roles in the supply chain network; both internal and external. The workshop also examines the linkages between supply chain planning and the Integrated Business Planning and Supply Chain Optimisation processes.
