Smarter Inventory Solutions Workshop

Turbo charge your inventory results! This practical, one day, workshop is aimed at those who want to achieve more, with less inventory. This comprehensive training event will show you how to review your inventory, identify opportunities, and implement them so that they stick!

Recommended For:

 This instructive workshop is recommended for practitioners responsible for ‘bought in’ inventory items such as parts and components, service parts, OEM spares, MRO inventory and industrial supplies. Attendees at Phillip’s previous workshops have been from disciplines as diverse as logistics, inventory planning, warehouse management, purchasing and procurement, maintenance management, and finance.

Workshop Outline

Containing great new content from Phillip’s latest book, this workshop will include:

• The basics of inventory management and how they can be misleading

• The factors that have the greatest impact on your inventory levels

• The four ‘home truths’ that will help you to crack the inventory code

• The importance of stocking policies and how to develop them

• A complete review of Inventory Process Optimization™ and its application

• A new, fun, team based, interactive implementation simulation

• Specific case studies, real world examples and practical checklists

Your benefits from attending this workshop will include:

1. Increased inventory reduction: Going beyond the theory will help you identify new and greater opportunities for inventory reduction.

2. Increased longevity of solution: Understanding the influence of people and processes will enable you to put in place behavioral and procedural improvements to make sure that changes stick for the long term.

3. Reduced risk: Redefining the supply and demand dynamics reduces the risk of stocking out due to changes

Workshop Format

This is a highly interactive workshop and participant numbers are limited to ensure significant interaction.  Attendees will benefit by working side by side with others to review their issues and identify solutions.
