DDIBP hands-on simulation experience and dynamic simulator for resilient supply chain in distribution network

Learning objectives:

• To discover the core problem in traditional supply chain planning
• This workshop with hands-on simulation is intended to prepare a team to understand the essential difference between Re-order Point (ROP), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Make-To-Availability (MTA) and Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) as an introduction.
• To experience the difference between forecasting-based and consumption-based planning methods thru an online simulation game
• To understand how the dynamic simulator. excel-based AI forecasting and cloud-based application software for supply chain planning

Workshop outline:

Session 1: (22 Nov., 2022 HKT 1630-1900)

• Online supply chain simulation experience thru forecasting-based method
• To identify undesirable effects

Session 2: (29 Nov., 2022 HKT 1630-1900)

• The history of ROP, MRP, MTA and DDMRP
• The cornerstones of the above inventory policies’ logic
• To identify the core conflict and inter-relationship between different methods

Session 3: (1 Dec., 2022 HKT 1630-1900)

• Online supply chain simulation experience thru consumption-based method
