Course Outline
First Session:
The first session will provide an introduction to supply chain management, covering various setups and types commonly encountered. It will also delve into push-pull systems with real-world examples.
Additionally, the session will explore different supply chain processes and best practices that supply chain managers follow. An orientation on the supply chain metrics toolbox used by managers for daily performance measurement will be included.
Numerous examples of diverse supply chains will be presented to help participants clearly identify various setups, enhancing their understanding and application in real-world scenarios.
Second Session:
Segmentation is a critical component of any supply chain. Before designing a supply chain, it is essential to segment suppliers, customers, and products based on specific criteria. These criteria are crucial for aligning strategies for each segment and defining service levels for SKUs and customers. Participants will learn how to conduct ABC analysis and the subsequent steps to achieve maximum profitability and service level.
The session will also cover forecasting and demand planning using sales and operations planning techniques. Guidelines for aligning sales and operations teams will be discussed to ensure cohesive strategy execution.
Third Session:
Inventories are central to supply chain operations, serving as a buffer to ensure customer satisfaction and meet demand availability. However, excess inventory can lead to issues such as spoilage, obsolescence, and damage. Additionally, over-investment in inventory can limit resources for other activities and investments. Inventory analysis involves determining the optimal amount of inventory for the right product in the right location and form. In this session, participants will practice inventory replenishment policies using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and its extensions. They will also learn how to determine order quantities under demand uncertainty based on targeted service levels.
These sessions are designed to enhance the capabilities of supply chain professionals for government operations, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to optimize supply chain performance.

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.
