To survive in today's environment, world class manufacturers need
to be lean, and very responsive. You can re-schedule, within a few
seconds, in response to changes in customer demand, with a planning
and scheduling system that tells you what to make, and what to buy.
Make
reliable, and achievable delivery promises to your customers, and
keep your delivery performance high, whilst keeping your inventory
and work-in-progress at a minimum. Anticipate supply chain problems
before they happen, and avoid expensive overtime and emergency airfreight
bills.
Previously
this was possible only by implementing a complex ERP (Enterprise
Resource Planning), and/or an APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling)
package, costing millions and taking years to implement. But now,
more and more companies throughout the world are achieving world
class supply chain management with Excel, and help from Production-Scheduling.com
"I
thought I knew a lot about Excel, but now I realize I was only using
10% of it's capability, I didn't realize just how powerful it was"
Tony
Rice of Production-Scheduling.com develops planning, scheduling,
and supply chain management systems in Microsoft Excel, and teaches
others how to build their own systems, using APICS and TOC principles.
Nearly 100 000 companies have downloaded his world famous Scheduling
Tutorial from the website. Building on this success, he has now
developed a 2 day, hands-on workshop, aimed at Excel literate people
from manufacturing and distribution companies.
Each
delegate will receive a CD with the valuable "Supply Chain
System Developer's Toolkit" containing the well-structured
work shop material, and packed with copies of systems that are being
used by a wide variety of manufacturing companies throughout the
world. At the conclusion of the workshop each delegate should have
the knowledge to select one of the systems, and adapt it for their
own manufacturing company. By selecting only the functionality required,
and by integrating with existing Excel data sources, implementation
and training times can be dramatically less than for an ERP or APS
package.
Tony
Rice is British, and lives in South Africa. He has over 20 years
experience designing and building supply chain management systems,
for many hundreds of small to medium sized companies, but also some
large ones, including:
- Toyota
- Unilever
- 3M
- Cadbury
- Pilkington
Glass
- Motorola
