DDMRP Leader _{Demand Driven leader Professional}

Course content

It is generally known that demand forecasting is associated with uncertainty. In real life, this expresses itself through changing priorities at every MRP replanning. This leads to loss of capacity, disturbed relations with suppliers and costs of expedite deliveries in production and logistics. DDMRP gives the opportunity to improve flow and deal with the prior mentioned objections. This is, among others, achieved by planning production and supply orders on the basis of relative priority.

Demand Driven Leader focusses on the process of Demand Driven S&OP (DDS&OP). In DDS&OP, besides the importance of stock buffers, the importance of capacity and time buffers is discussed. These category buffers are created on the basis of the capacity planning, as part of DD S&OP.

Classroom sessions

The course is exclusively given in a class room setting, for two consecutive days. During the lessons there will be plenty of room for interaction. The participants are actively involved in making calculations for order quantities and required capacity and for the determination of production priority in bottleneck resources. The course materials and the exam are in English. 

Course material

The course materials consist of the material as prescribed by the Demand Driven Institute (DDI) namely:

• Hand-outs of PowerPoint slides
• Background information on the Demand Driven Institute website
