An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics
Creating the Digital Twins of Your Supply Chain
Course Overview
This GLOMACS Purchasing & Logistics training course on Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics will help identify potential risks and plan for mitigation measures before the risks actually arise, adequately plan lead times, warehousing and inventory resources, as well as optimal number of transportation resources.
The analytical thinking alone is not enough to address the issues and challenges that are presented in modern supply chains. In order to be able to recognize the possible bottlenecks and opportunities, the Supply Chain and Logistics specialists need to have a tool that will enable them to model the supply chain and logistics activities and visualize the actual process in real time. They need to be able to perform experiments in a virtual world, which will enable them to execute their ideas, without the risk of disturbing the supply chain in the real world.
This GLOMACS Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistic training course will highlight:
- Use of Dynamic simulation in the processes of Supply Chain Design and Analysis
- Planning for the potential risk and disturbances within a supply chain
- Optimization of inventory and transportation policies and resources
- Bullwhip effect management and reduction
- Analysis of new product introduction and potential distribution networks
- Evaluation of alternative supply chain improvement options within a simulated environment
- Transport resources optimization and fleet planning
Training Objectives
The objective of this Purchasing & Logistics training course is to teach the delegates how to use simulation tools and techniques for the Design, Analysis and Risk Management of Supply Chain and Logistics activities.
At the end of this Dynamic Simulation of Supply Chain and Logistics training course, you will learn to:
- Perform a Greenfield Analysis of the Supply Chain
- Understand the risks of Supply Chain and Logistics and the ways to simulate them
- Perform simulations that will help you with your inventory optimization
- Acquire the knowledge to predict possible bullwhip and ripple effects
- Visually present the whole process flow of your Supply Chain and Logistics processes
- Use the tools for effective transportation planning
- Present the effects of the proposed changes through the changes in simulation outputs
