Description

In today's fast-paced supply chain environment, traditional planning methods often lead to inefficiencies, excess inventory, and inaccurate forecasts. Lean Planning integrates Lean principles into demand, supply, and inventory planning to create a more agile, waste-free, and responsive supply chain.This course will guide you through the application of Lean thinking to planning systems, helping you improve forecast accuracy, reduce lead times, and optimize inventory levels. You will learn how to implement pull-based planning, SIOP (Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning), and continuous improvement (Kaizen) to enhance decision-making and drive operational excellence.

What you will learn:

How to eliminate waste in supply chain planning using Lean principles.Strategies for improving forecast accuracy and reducing variability.Implementing pull-based planning (Kanban, JIT) for better flow.Aligning SIOP processes with Lean methodologies for sustainable planning.Practical techniques to integrate Lean tools into daily planning activities.Case studies and real-world applications to reinforce Lean Planning concepts.This course is ideal for supply chain professionals, planners, and managers looking to integrate Lean into their planning systems and enhance their organization's efficiency and competitiveness. Whether you work in manufacturing, retail, or logistics, these strategies will help you build a resilient, demand-driven supply chain.Enroll now and master Lean Planning to transform your supply chain.
