Overview

Gain critical insights into causes of supply chain breakdowns and learn how to fix them for the long term. If we can determine causes of supplier problems in advance we can reduce or eliminate many and create a smoother and more efficient supply chain. This results in reduced costs, lead time, hidden operating costs and increases the bottom line.

This is a very hands-on seminar. After establishing parameters of what works and doesn't, each participant plays a role in "The Supply Chain Simulation." This is followed by documenting value streams and processes. A simulation exercise, problem solving tools, PDMA model and SCM resource guide are part of the material.

Training Methodology
- Participant discussions
- Multiple hands-on exercises included
- Real world templates
- Best practices
- Comprehensive course manual
Organizational Impact
- Examine company supply chain operations and activities
- Analyze key problem area
- Improve supply chain relationships
- Succeed in improving operations
- Make a positive impact to the bottom line
Personal Impact
- See your work add value to the company’s supply chain
- Gain the financial benefits that effective supply chain management brings
- Determine how to change your supply chain so it flows better and obtains better results
- Understand, apply and demonstrate improvements after the seminar for your team
- Document best practices
By the time you finish this seminar, you will know:
- Five steps in the Theory of Constraints
- Six audits to reveal improvement opportunities
- Eight deadly forms of waste revealed
- Eleven problem solving tools
- Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for permanent change using 21 steps

Course Outline

Understanding the current Supply Chain
1. Define the supply chain
2. Identify participants in the supply chain
3. Identify critical components of the supply chain
4. Understand relationships, connections and expectations between retailers, wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers and buyers
5. How to understand supply chain dynamics
Case study — Supply Chain Management practices
1. Supply Chain Operations Reference Models (SCOR)
2. What is the Theory of Constraints (TOC)
3. Eleven problem solving tools
4. Practice and demonstrate the 11 problem solving tools
The Supply Chain Simulation
- Rules of the simulation; determining who plays which roles; case study preparation
Play the Supply Chain Management Simulation
- Case study measurement review, case study recap; what we learned; what is the "Forester Effect" and how to use it to make; improvements; the implementation; how to apply the TOC
Fixing Supply Chain Problem
- What is the Plan, Do, Measure, Adjust model (PDMA)? How is it employed? What are the nine phases of the model? How do you break the nine phases down into 21 steps?
Build out the PDCA model for your biggest challenge
Use tools maps to identify constraints and implement improvements
- What is a value stream and why map it?; mapping a value stream; identify the eight deadly wastes in your firm; introduction of the 6S concepts (sort, safety, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain); performing a 6S audit to encourage continuous improvement
Play the Supply Chain Management simulation
- How to use Process mapping to improve your processes; defining a process; mapping a process; how to determine a process' measurement and levels; defining the process players' roles; using the Process Improvement tools; developing a "good" measurement system; process improvement trend chart; using the PO (Process Owner) action plan
