Introduction to Supply Chain – 2 Days

“A company that fails to manage its supply chain at a strategic level is unlikely to meet its business objectives effectively”

Increased sophistication in customer requirements and greater competition, have pushed the industry towards higher and higher levels of efficiency in an effort to meet customer needs and cut costs. One of the results of this drive has been the outsourcing of goods and services to third parties, in a way that has inexorably bonded the supply chains of operators, contractors and suppliers.

The question today is whether increased efficiency in the way individual companies are run is going to provide the industry with the performance improvements it seeks, or whether a new approach is needed which takes into account the whole Supply Chain.

Supply Chain Management is about managing the flow of information, materials, services and money across any activity, in a way which maximizes the effectiveness of the process. It is about introducing new tools or revising well-known techniques in an effort to ask ourselves: "Is this the right thing to do" rather than "Is this the best way we can continue to do the same thing". This is a continuous process, not a one-time fix.

Page 8: 2012 logistics & supply chain seminars brief

OBJECTIVES:This 2 day program explores the make up of

an entire supply chain and how to get it to function effectively and meaningfully. An in-depth analysis of the major decisions that makes a supply chain viable.

Optimizing the Supply Chain for Profitability

Logistics and the closely related concept of supply chain management underpin business or corporate strategy as far as the latter sets company objectives in sales, market share, share price, returns on shareholder funds, investment and assets, etc. Accordingly, the logistics function within most companies is a service activity which is directly responsible for achieving the above objectives. It is logistics which has a integrating and coordinating function designed to facilitate the production and / or distribution processes. It is these processes which ultimately reflect customer demand and the securing of the necessary raw materials and/or semi-finished goods for incorporation into production and the subsequent satisfaction of customer orders.

The Logistics function may then be simply defined as satisfying the needs of the customer. "Introduction to Logistics and Supply Chain Management" is an introductory / first year course which assists students to understand the characteristic elements of integrated business logistics, the role and application of logistics principles to supply/demand/value chain management, the application of a selection of inventory management / analytical tools in solving logistics problems, aspects of strategic integrated logistics management and benchmarking and global integrated logistics activities.

SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION (Reducing the Bullwhip Effect)

We are witnessing the emergence of a new era in supply chain management; the era of real time management has come to stay. High bandwidth connectivity, real-time messaging systems, and information technology-based decision support tools are driving big changes in supply chain strategies and operations.

New technology is revolutionizing corporate supply chains around the globe, enabling a level of sophistication previously only imagined.

Organisations are building supply chain technology infrastructures that tap the potential of a variety of new information tools and presentation platforms. Supply chain management prcatices have been evolving concurrently. These new best practices in supply chain management reflect lessons learned from corporations all over the world.

In this interactive seminar, you will discover the power of real-time supply chains

Driving Down Supply Chain Costs (the Lean Principles)

Logistics and supply chain has become the new source of competitive advantage because what was once tactical is now strategic. Customer response is measured in minutes, not weeks. Real-time business data is a need, not a luxury. What would happen to the future of your company if a competitor could?deliver an equivalent value faster or more

consistently to your customerprovide the same level of service with half of

your inventoryprovide the same level of service with a

significantly lower asset investmentreduce transaction cost by 50% or moredevelop an off-shore partner that can provide

The Theory of Constraints: A Practical Approach to Improving Supply Chain FlowsMost visions do not inspire excitement and correct aligned action from

the senior management team. To bring a company’s net profits to equal current sales within 4 years, every functional executive must be aligned towards rapid growth. Such achievement requires flawless logistics and a completely different marketing and sales approach.

Competitive pressures force us to continuously do more for less. As work becomes more complicated, people lose focus on the overall goal and how they impact global results. Theory of Constraints (TOC) has been expanded for all organisations to maximize their throughput with minimum frustration and waste.

The TOC is a set of holistic processes and insights and insights, all based on a systems approach that simplifies the improving and managing of complex organisations by focusing on the few physical and logical constraining “leverage” points.

Furthermore, it provides a tool set to build and implement the “levers” (holistics rules) that synchrnise the parts to achieve an order of magnitude improvement in the performance of the system as a whole.

Page 15: 2012 logistics & supply chain seminars brief

Theory of Constraints tools identify these constraints and focus the entire organisation on simple, effective solutions to problems that seemed insurmountably complex and unsolvable.

This workshop provides an overview of all aspects of the Theory of Constraints methodology. It is intended to give managers evaluating the methodology and those embarking on a TOC effort a deeper understanding of the breadth and depth of the thinking processes behind TOC and the derivative applications.

Supply Chain Optimisation for ProfitabilityToday logistics is much more than the

operational management of physical flows of goods. Logistics -and Supply Chain- Management, by fulfilling the strategic vision of the corporation, contributes to the creation of added value and to the business success. Its leverage strength comes from encompassing in the same systemic approach the physical, administrative and financial flows, from the raw materials procurement to the delivery of finished products. This requires an international perspective including the interfaces with distributors, suppliers and sub-contractors. That approach creates a competitive advantage through

A better cost controlA more effective management of

relationships between the chain elements

A better customer service.

This course is aimed at creating awareness on the desirability of supply chain management (SCM) concepts for organizations that desire competitive edge. The focus will be on the basics of Supply Chain Management. The participants will get a chance to rethink the way their organization integrates suppliers, production and distribution in the globally competitive economy.

The Objective of this course is to put participants through the basic concepts of managing the flow of materials in a supply chain. In this course participants will get a complete overview of material flow, from internal and external suppliers, to and from your organization.

REDUCING CYCLE TIME ACROSS THE CHAINUsing time-based competition as

one of your most powerful strategic weapon has been found to be very productive. Driving down the time it takes to develop and deliver new products, dramatically reduce inventory and manufacturing time. Sharing the cost of quality and win back market share is fundamental to supply chain success.

Substantial market share has been lost over years to competitors and no industry is immune. The pressure is on to be nothing less than the best. But being the best takes radical change and it’s no easy matter

SUPPLY CHAIN FORECASTING & PLANING STRATEGIES

The key to good planning in any business is to start with the best forecast of sales that can be put together. Without starting the planning process off with a reasonable forecast all materials and capacity planning throughout the organisation will be suspect. In addition, your customer service will suffer and remain at a low level.

The target group for this seminar is anybody working in a sales, marketing and planning roles. Other management functions will also find the seminar useful as a reasonable aggregate forecast for the sales and operations planning process is essential.

Master schedulers should attend as having a reasonable accurate detailed forecast with which to work will improve the function of Master Scheduling considerably.

COURSE OBJECTIVESThe objectives of the course are

to show participants the importance of forecasting in good planning for an organisation. The importance of measuring the forecast accuracy is discussed and methods of measuring accuracy shown. The seminar concludes by using a computerised forecasting tool to illustrate several of the techniques that have been discussed.

CUSTOMER-FOCUSED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

‘You can’t manage it if you don’t measure it’ is one of the oldest maxims around, yet is one that needs some significant new attention for companies involved with Logistics and Supply Chain Management projects. The key objective of logistics and supply chain management is to improve the company’s performance by looking beyond individual functional areas within the company and focus on cross-functional and even cross company issues.

Companies have found out that performance measures that seem desirable for one part of the business may actually impede the performance of the business overall

MANAGING CONTRACTS AND SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS

Outsourcing contract managers face a number of significant challenges, including understanding and managing a changing business, ensuring appropriate alignment between business processes and the outsourcing contract, and handling widely varying expectations from the client and outsourcer's organizations. As such, the outsourcing contract manager requires a refined set of business, service-level management and contract governance skills in order to effectively support the organization's needs.

Fundamentally, the Service Level Management (SLM) process provides a methodology for introducing and implementing reasonable expectations for the customers and your service desk or customer support centre. SLM acts as guides for establishing good, sound business relationships.

Using comprehensive scenario discussions and real-life case studies facilitated by seasoned instructors, experienced contract managers will learn how to succeed in an environment where critical processes have been outsourced. Numerous examples, tools and analyses provide valuable information on what makes outsourcing contracts successful and help ensure the appropriate alignment between these complicated contracts and client business needs.

Supplier Relationship Management: Keys to Greater Profitability and Competitive Advantage

IntroductionContinuous improvement in all aspects of the supply chain is necessary

to remain competitive in today's global economy. The traditional adversarial relationship and transactional focus of buyers and suppliers cannot meet this demand for continuous improvement. As a result, significant changes are occurring in the philosophies and approaches that define the relationship between buyers and sellers in world-class organizations.

Simply put, Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) provides an organizational focus on communicating and collaborating with suppliers on the many steps of the Supply Management process. This focus reduces the total cost of acquisition, transportation, and possession of goods and services for the benefit of both the buyer and seller while improving final product quality, value to the customer, and profitability to the organization.

Strategic Procurement Best Practices

The development and implementation of carefully crafted strategies for the acquisition of all goods, equipment, and services has become a critical issue in all organizations wishing to reduce operating cost while improving quality and productivity. This program explores key concepts forming the basis of strategic procurement and the management of the supply chain and moves though leading edge issues that confront the purchasing organization today.

Page 37: 2012 logistics & supply chain seminars brief

Delivering Cashable Savings through Strategic Sourcing

Effective purchasing and supply management can contribute significantly to the success of modern organizations. Strategic supply management is founded on the conviction that a significant competitive edge can be gained from the supplier an organization has developed and its supply systems and supplier relations. Participants will be energized and equipped with good understanding of latest concepts to complement their challenging functions.

Strategic Sourcing StrategiesINTRODUCTION:The procurement function has changed dramatically over the last several

years. And it continues to change and evolve almost daily. To know how well your organization is performing, you need numeric

baselines or points of comparison. The baseline can be your prior years' performance. But it is most helpful if you use the same key performance indicators (KPI's) as other organizations you benchmark with or those published by a research firm, such as Cost Savings, Managed Spend as a Percentage of Total Spend, Cost Savings as a Percentage of Managed Spend, Procurement Operating Costs as a Percentage of Managed Spend, Return on Investment, Percent of On-Time Supplier Deliveries, Supplier Defect Rate, Customer Satisfaction and Procurement Cycle Time

OBJECTIVES:This 2 day program explores the makeup of an entire supply chain and

how to get it to function effectively and meaningfully. An in-depth analysis of the major decisions that makes a supply chain viable.

Cost Effective Material Handling (the bolt and nut of the supply chain)

The concern is to be able to move the goods with speed and low cost. However because the handling activity must be repeated many times, what may be apparently minor inefficiencies in any one trip can add up to substantial diseconomies when taken over many products and over a period of time.

One of the key aspects of material handling, and one of principal importance since the rise of retailers like Wal-Mart and Kmart in warehouse management has been the introduction of technology which has substantially improved efficiency and made Wal-Mart a model.

One critical issue in material handling this course will address is ergonomics which has to do with matching the job and workplace to the worker instead of forcing the worker to adapt to a standardized workplace. This is not only to improve safety but comes with associated benefits:

Inventory Accuracy & Cycle Count Workshop Recent industry reports show that inventory costs as a

percent of total logistics costs are increasing. Despite this rise, many organizations have not taken full advantage of ways for lowering inventory costs. There are a number of proven strategies that will provide payoff in the inventory area, both in customer service and in financial terms.  Some of these strategies for lowering inventory costs involve having less inventory while others involve owning less of the inventory you have. Regardless of which techniques you employ, proactive inventory management practices will make a measurable difference in your operations.

In this workshop, the participants will learn how to implement or improve a cycle counting program and what the real purpose of cycle counting is: finding and fixing the causes of inventory errors. Also included are several methods for selecting items to count, using correct accounting techniques, and reconciling any outstanding transactions.

In addition, the participants will learn various reporting methods to illustrate the results of the cycle counting program to employees and management.

 

After completion of the workshop, a participant will be able to:

Describe the true purpose of cycle countingPerform an ABC analysis of inventoryList at least 5 benefits of cycle countingLearn how to set up and use a "control

group"List at least 6 common causes of inventory

WAREHOUSE ACTIVITY PROFILING

Business logistics is looked upon as a source of key corporate leverage point for simultaneously increasing shareholder and customer value. Unfortunately, the links between logistics performance, cost, and value are rarely made. In this course we will make and demonstrate those critical connecting points.

In this programme participants will learn how improving logistics performance in customer service, fill rate, response time, inventory turns, receivables, transportation efficiencies, and warehousing productivity translate into operating and capital cost reductions and increased shareholder value. You will also learn the link between logistics performance, cost, and shareholder value; define a full and complementary set of logistics performance benchmarks; and see how to use logistics performance gap analysis to justify new logistics initiatives.

PROGRAMME BENEFITS: By the end of the programme, participants will be

able to: Identify causes of problems and opportunities for

improving warehouse operations. Develop key performance indicators and benchmark

warehouse performance. Outline a proper framework for selecting a

warehouse management system. Acquire a good understanding of the financial aspects

of warehousing and calculate warehouse costs. Understand some advanced concepts in warehousing;

Logistics Cost/Price Analysis and Total Cost Concepts

IntroductionManaging and reducing cost continues to be one of the primary focal

points of business and governments today. In many organizations, more than half of the total revenue is spent on goods and services—everything from raw material to overnight mail. Maintaining a competitive position and even survival will depend on the organizations ability to use all of the continuous improvement strategies which have been developed to reduce cost across the entire supply chain for the life of the product or service. Fundamental to developing and implementing these strategies is knowledge of Cost/Price Analysis, Value Analysis and Total Cost of Ownership concepts.

This seminar provides the concepts of Cost/Price/Value Analysis and Total Cost of Ownership that are essential skill sets in developing and implementing the strategies required to achieve the high levels of cost reductions possible from the supply chain.

STRATEGIC LOGISTICS MANAGEMENTLogistics is critical to the success of every

organization. Previously considered an important behind-the-scene operational activity, logistics is now recognized as a strategic tool for creating customer value and loyalty. The emergence of logistics and supply chain management has rendered the traditional concept of business is obsolete. 

Companies, both manufacturing and service, are creators of value, not simply makers of products.  Supply Chain Management focuses on globalization and information management tools that integrate procurement, operations, and logistics from raw materials to customer satisfaction.  Future managers are prepared to add product value, increase quality, reduce costs, and increase profits by addressing the needs and performance of:  supplier relations, supplier selection, purchasing negotiations, operations, transportation, inventory, warehousing, benchmarking, third-party vendors, electronic commerce, recycling, supply chain electronic software, and customer relations.

Quick Response Logistics Strategies

It is said that customers are becoming more demanding and less loyal. What once was tactical is now strategic. Customer response is measured in minutes, not weeks. Real-time business data is a need, not a luxury.

These days, every morning is different…change is here to stay, and with it comes new pressures and the need for new strategies. In response, companies like yours are looking at the big picture: the complex, dynamic interplay of cause and effect throughout every part of the business cycle, recognizing the contribution and status of each product's inventory, demand, sales trends, pricing, location, competitive set, and other critical factors.

Managing Import Logistics, Documentation & Customs Compliance (2 Days)

In international trade transactions, the overriding consideration is protection. That is protecting stakes, investments and returns. This applies to all parties involved in a transaction - the exporter, the importer the banker and other intermediaries.

It is common knowledge that international transactions are often fraught with risks such as avoidable delays or default in payment and performance or outright repudiation for which redress may be technically difficult due to flawed documentation. The short and long term implications of this cannot be overemphasized.

With the increasing complexity of international trade and the movement of goods, the need for companies to up skill their workforces to lighten the burden of ensuring compliance with regulations and customer requirements has come to the fore. Staff awareness of the consequences of their everyday actions is essential if needless errors and bad practice are to be avoided. It is much cheaper to get it right the first time.

This programme will offer step-by-step guides to the critical functions along the export import supply chain with emphasis on the role of third party inspection agents. There will be practical activities where participants will deal with live Letters of Credits and real documents to ensure that learning has taken place.

Transport Fleet Management Course – 3 Days

Good fleet management can result in savings of a few percent, which can translate into millions of dollars on large projects. The fleet is defined as any mobile equipment that does any work, be it above ground, underground, diesel or electric. Operators should firstly ensure the fleet is fit for purpose, correctly specified, adequately maintained and available. The second part of fleet management is the actual managing and efficient usage.

 Haulage is usually the single biggest fleet cost. As fuel prices rise, this will only rocket upwards.

By starting with a good layout design for the overall site, the efficiency of haulage operations can be drastically increased. Roadways should be designed, constructed and maintained to reduce rolling resistance and inertia. These factors can have a large effect on fuel usage. If the roads are not in good condition, vehicles can experience excessive wear. With the rising costs in raw materials like rubber, consumables like tyres can be expensive to replace.

 Payload management is also essential to the optimisation process. The difference between the

weight and density of the materials can be large, especially when comparing dry bulk density to wet loose density of the same substance.

 While hauling units or trucks have a clear maximum weight payload, fleet management involves

more than just knowing what the maximum weight is. The body tray might need to be designed to accommodate the specific materials. Operators also need to understand the move from in situ dry bulk density to wet loose density.

 

Page 64: 2012 logistics & supply chain seminars brief

The key to management is to know the realistic physical parameters involved during planning. Management personnel should also assign enough time for maintenance and servicing of equipment. If the operation is large and complex, computer management systems should be used to assist in time planning.

Fleet Management Seminar is designed to provide comprehensive education specifically to fleet managers like you who seek the fundamental principles and practices of successful fleet management. Program topics include Policies & Procedures, Fleet Organization & Responsibilities, Acquisition & Disposal, Maintenance & Technology and Risk Management.

ORDER FULFILMENT LOGISTICS MANAGEMENTTo improve customer satisfaction,

the following corporate-wide customer service commitment must be met:To deliver all orders to all customers

complete and when promised and to minimize lateness where we fail

To meet customers’ delivery requirement always

To offer even shorter lead times if doing so would give us a competitive advantage by reducing total systems costs for us and our customers

The last commitment assumes that customers always value shorter lead times because it helps them build to order rather than forecast, thus minimizing excess inventory required to cover forecasting errors.

This seminar begins with an introduction to order and inventory management and then explains some sales order specific challenges. The seminar then proceeds to describe sourcing and scheduling of orders, rules related to order fulfillment and payment and the configuration of service capacity.

Advanced Import Logistics, Documentation & Customs Compliance

(Leading to Certified Import Compliance Manager CICM)

Under the concept of Informed Compliance, the importer must be knowledgeable of the laws and regulations governing imports. Customs will assist, but the burden is upon the importer to properly apply the Customs Regulations to correctly classify imported merchandise.

Enforced Compliance will be the negative result of an importer being ignorant of the regulatory requirements. Non-compliance with recordkeeping requirements and an inability to document a process that demonstrates Reasonable Care may soon lead to a regulatory or enforcement audit.

A thorough knowledge of the Harmonized System is essential for anyone involved in global trade. Proper classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedules is a regulatory requirement under the Customs Modernization Act to evidence informed compliance and the exercise of reasonable care.

Participants will learn key trigger points to gain competitive advantage in import logistics operations, and implications of non compliance to all the new government compliance and audit issues.
