DDMRP in Excel Workshop Agenda

This workshop is intended to teach the basic principles in integrated supply chain planning and the DDMRP method.

We will use a fully functional system with a fictitious manufacturing company to show how a DDMRP system works. You will set up inventory buffers to position against variable demand and then see how they perform with a series of demand scenarios.

You will come away from this workshop with a fully functional DDMRP planning system in Excel- there is not licence or additional cost. With the skills you learn here, you could connect the system to your own data and have a complete integrated planning system working as a pilot or even a live system.
