Courses 2008

We are running a series of Integrated Public Courses in 2007 designed to help your business save money and improve its response to customers. We strongly believe that our series of courses will actually save money, and pay for themselves. Here’s how…

To really make this work suppliers need visibility of demand. You can use history or base it on a forecast from Sales and Marketing. Our 3 Sales Forecasting and Demand Management workshops will provide you with a more accurate forecast to support your management of the Supply side. In particular we deal with how to improve the accuracy of forecasts.

To cupport this we have developed a NEW course on Customer Value Leadership. Keeping customers is much chepaer than continually chasing after new ones. We show you how to gain and retain customers through the right combination fo people, processes, tools and organisation.

Suppliers also like some degree of stability. Clearly there is a balance to be held between having a firm planned fence, and complete anarchy. Will be holding 3 Supply Chain Techniques courses to ensure that you manage the supply chain effectively, using Master Scheduling, Material Planning and Capacity Planning techniques.

Finally you need to make sure everything is joined up. Our approach is for all of the plans in the business to tie together into one set of numbers. Flexibility for the customer means being able to review Innovation, Demand, Supply, and Support [HR, IT and Finance] requirements in volume and value each month. Options on priorities need to be given to the Senior Team in a structured way for timely decisions to be made for the Long-Term. This way we can give a balanced plan to our supply base, and ensure we have the capacity to deliver our plans whilst at the same time delivering real value to our customers profitably. We will be running 3 Integrated Enterprise Leadership workshops to help you create a joined-up company.

You can either get your team to attend all these courses; alternatively pick and choose as you want. Either way we believe that the impact on your supply chain will save you time and money.
