Demand Driven Leader (DDL) Workshop

The Demand Driven Leader (DDL) Program equips senior and mid-level operations and supply chain managers with the ability to design, implement and sustain a Demand Driven Operating Model (DDOM) including parameter settings through Demand Driven S&OP (DDS&OP).

Designed by the leading authorities on Demand Driven methods at the Demand Driven Institute, the Demand Driven Leader Program is comprised of 6 modules of in-depth Demand Driven education:

• Module 1: Todays Business Landscape

• Module 2: Striving for Relevant Information

• Module 3: The Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) Model

• Module 4: The Demand Driven Operating Model

• Module 5: Demand Driven Sales and Operations Planning (DDS&OP)

• Module 6: Adaptive Sales & Operations Planning

Key Learnings

Participants to the DDL seminar learn the principles of Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) and a Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE). The program explains the main principles of a DDAE, thus the participants learn how to determine relevant ranges, implement a flow-based operating model and flow-based metrics and the tactical reconciliation (bi-directional) between relevant ranges. The program also covers the Demand Driven Operations Model (DDOM) and Demand Driven Dales and Operations Planning (DDS&OP). Participants learn the necessary common DDMRP terminology and definitions in order to speak the same language:

• Deal with an unpredictable market where demand is dynamic and creating a planning and execution environment (Demand Driven operation Model) that manufacturing can successfully follow while lowering your internal costs.

• Create a lead time advantage over your competitors by understanding the key elements of reducing lead time.

• Leverage inventory in ways not understood prior which go beyond just simply placing stocks everywhere.

• Implement an integrated business planning (IBP) process following the DDMRP methodology.
