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.
