Super Session Abstract

In its design the Demand Driven Supply Network (DDSN) integrates technology, people and processes within an organization and its external supply chain partners to react to the pull of the customer order versus the push of a forecast. In application of DDSN there are barriers and challenges faced by supply chain partners which impact implementation. This session will examine those common barriers and solutions used to overcome them.

Learning Objectives:

What are the building blocks that create a DDSN capability
What are the key barriers to DDSN
Succeeding in a demand sensing world
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) integration

Super Session topics include:

Supply Chain visibility
Organizational Structure
Collaboration among supply chain partners
Integration of business and technology systems
Measurement systems

Learning Outcomes:

Working with industry experts and real world case studies/scenarios participants will learn tips on how to navigate through various obstacles to a successful demand driven supply chain and achieve goals such as;

•          Reduce inventory

•          Gain better perfect order performance

•          Shorter cash-to-cash cycle time

•          Get higher revenue

•          Achieve better profit margins
