2 Day Certified Demand Driven Planner (CDDP) Course

Description The Certified Demand Driven Planner Program was created by a g lobal partnership between the ISCEA and the Demand Driven Institute (DDI) with the specific purpose to educate Supply Chain & Operations Management personnel on the methods and applications of Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP). The CDDP is internationally accredited by the IISB. DDMRP an innovative multi-echelon planning, inventory management and execution solution, which is quickly establishing itself as the leading best practice in supply chain management. The methodology is designed to provide a robust and agile supply chain in a highly unpredictable and volatile market. Target Audience Supply chain professionals of every level (planner, manager, director), production/manufacturing managers, continuous improvement specialists, supply chain transformation managers, consultants, educators, students, anyone who is ready to fundamentally challenge the formal planning practices based on forecast driven MRP and understand how to achieve breakthrough performance improvement.

Benefits Typical main benefits are: !  Reduced lead time and high service

level (up to 100%) !  Inventory reduction (typically 30-50%) !  Stable schedules with almost total

elimination of supply chain and manufacturing expediting expenses

...all at the same time and without compromise! Upon successful completion of the exam (which is included in the course fee and is conducted on-line in the participant’s own time), the participants receive the CDDP certificate and may place “CDDP” in their professional title.
