ADVANCED EXECUTIVE EDUCATION SERIES

BUILDING A DEMAND-DRIVEN SUPPLY CHAIN THROUGH

INTEGRATED BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

– FROM EXECUTION TO OPTIMIZATION

As the world of supply chain revolves more and more around the efficiencies and high customer service, low cost and having the product at the righ time, the right place and in the right quantity, and around multi-echelon collaboration across extended supply chains that are demand-driven, more and more corporations are realizing that to train supply chain professionals on how they can better forecast, plan and run their projects, is not supporting the need of transparent orgnization where silos block the effective communication.

The workshops we offer are designed primarily with supply chain and operations in mind, however, they are also designed with all other functional departments in mind to facilitate the knowlegde of cross-funtional abilities and benefits. A good forecast is a product of cross-funtional collaboration of internal and external partners. Inventory optimization cannot be accomplished to its fullest potential without proper master schedule, which in turn cannot exist without a good forecast. Budgets are a big event for most of organizations and yet, if the S&OP / IBP concept of collaboration and continous refreshing of demand plan driven by market data, marketing and sales activities and supply constraints was fully understood by all process stakeholders, it would become a ‘significant non-event’.

All of the below workshops have broad enough coverage of the need for collaboration and explain how the best-in-class companies achieve it. This means, that the best target group for any of these workshops is all company functions that have the ability to sense, shape, and steer demand to support top management with the data, information and tools to make highly profitable decions at their monthly executive meetings.

Simply said, well trained individuals in each department working in functional silos without good understanding of what the others can do and how they can help each other to support overall business goals is not an option for best-in-class companies worldwide.

The additional value we provide to the workshop delegates is a 60 days post-workshop support via phone / email on workshop covered materials / topics. Web forum for workshop participants to enable them to consult with their peers and/or escalate the questions directly to Jaguar-APS. All workshop materials available for downloads from Jaguar-APS web forum, including library of reference materials and white papers.
