French Supply Chain Management Workshop
From IBP or advanced S&OP to execution - The components of Industrial Excellence
To cope with the constant increase in customer requirements, the implementation of an efficient and agile supply chain is a real competitive advantage for companies. This supply chain is managed using a global planning which integrates all levels from the Industrial and Commercial Plan (PIC or IBP) to execution.
The planning horizons must allow for long, medium and short term integration to ensure consistency, alignment and performance of all production, supply, logistics and warehousing activities.
As a transversal function, the supply chain is closely linked to the management of the product portfolio and the management of demand and the integration of all these elements is crucial for the performance of the company.
The training "Supply Chain Management: from IBP or advanced S&OP to execution - The components of Industrial Excellence" shows you how to:
- Anticipate potential issues through a PIC or IBP process that looks at a minimum of 24 months ahead and allows the management team to make the right decisions
- Plan your internal and external supply chain optimally to satisfy your customers and control your costs
- Integrate the supply chain with product management and sales management
- Better manage the constraints of your supply chain
- Work with a single set of numbers validated and shared by all links in the chain
