Discover the six reasons why your supply chain is failing to deliver and develop strategies to overcome them.
The most fundamental requirement for a manufacturing or distribution business is to deliver to customers what they want, in the right quantity, when and where they want it. If your customers cannot get this, they will go elsewhere. In this interactive workshop, learn:
- The role of forecasting in the supply chain – what it can do and what it can’t do.
- How to use an extended value stream map to reduce lead time.
- How to establish a simple sales and operations planning system to manage the future.
- How to get the right materials at the right time in the right quantity.
- How to manage international supply chains.
- How to design the optimum distribution network for low cost and perfect delivery.
Discover how to develop a ‘perfect delivery A3 plan’ to provide a practical road map to overcome delivery problems.
