Course Outline
First Session: Overview
The initial session provides a comprehensive introduction to supply chain management, examining the various configurations and types observed in operational contexts. It also includes an in-depth analysis of push-pull systems, supported by practical case studies.
This session further examines key supply chain processes and the industry best practices that managers utilize for governance. Participants will be oriented toward the essential metrics toolbox employed to monitor and evaluate supply chain performance, emphasizing data-driven decision-making.
To ensure clear identification of supply chain structures, the session incorporates numerous examples of diverse supply chain setups. This approach is designed for government audiences to facilitate a precise understanding of structural variations and their implications.
Second Session: Segmentation Strategy
Segmentation is fundamental to effective supply chain design. Prior to establishing a supply chain framework, it is necessary to categorize suppliers, customers, and products based on specific criteria. These criteria facilitate the alignment of strategic objectives and the definition of service levels for SKUs and customer segments. Participants will apply ABC analysis to determine post-analysis actions that maximize profitability and service delivery for government operations.
Additionally, the session addresses forecasting and demand planning using sales and operations planning (S&OP) techniques. It provides guidelines for aligning sales and operations teams to ensure cohesive resource management and operational efficiency.
Third Session: Inventory Optimization
Inventory serves as a critical buffer for customer satisfaction and demand availability. However, excessive inventory poses risks, including spoilage, obsolescence, and asset damage. High inventory holding costs also constrain resources available for other strategic investments. Inventory analysis focuses on determining the optimal quantity, product type, location, and form to balance service levels and costs. This session involves practical application of inventory replenishment policies using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and its extensions, with a focus on managing demand uncertainty to meet targeted service levels in government contexts.

I found NobleProg very easy to work with, considering the timezone challenges and our difficulty with trainees requiring support in Japanese. Overall, working with you on this training was satisfactory and I would have no hesitation recommending your organisation. If a training need occurs for us in the ASPAC region again, I will be in touch with NobleProg.
