Building skills to transform the company into a DDAE: Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise
What is it?
The Fresh Connection: A Demand Driven S&OP Experience is a realistic simulation game of a supply chain management situation.
The concept is simple: A business is in trouble and you have to fix it with your 3 teammates.
In addition to developing team spirit, it allows a better understanding of the financial issues of Supply Chain management. The experience also strengthens technical knowledge in Purchasing, Production or Sales allowing a better collective decision-making.
This one day workshop enables you and your team to experience and try implementing DDMRP buffers. Participants experience the positive impact of buffer implementation in a risk-free environment.
The workshop discusses the broad concepts of Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) buffer methodology, introduces the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise Model and the 4th buffer type: skills buffer.
Experience an S&OP process to discover how implementing buffers in a budget constrained environment, typical of the real-world, can still deliver high service level expectations while systematically reducing inventory investment AND achieving an expected Return on Investment. The experience provides a platform for organizational change management, builds confidence for your DDMRP implementation project and is relevant for leadership and/or operational staff.
The objectives of this serious game are:
