Participants’ Pains
We know that…
With its multiple interconnections and suitable certifications, the global landscape of supply chain operations may appear a tough field to navigate, especially for those new to the industry. Such complexity may give rise to emotions like uncertainty and confusion. Yet, breaking these complicated pieces down into accessible, bite-sized information can help participants feel more comfortable and confident in developing an understanding of the supply chain ecosystem.
In a rapidly digitizing world, new digital tools for automatic process verification are gaining prominence in all business areas, including supply chain management. There is a growing fear of being replaced by machines, which is most often caused by a lack of reliable knowledge. That’s why demystifying automation and providing practical examples can ease these fears, building participants’ confidence and proficiency in leveraging digital resources.
Today almost all companies want to be digitalized, and as digitalization is implemented, buzzwords such as agile and scrum often follow. Young people are much more familiar with these two as answers to managing new technologies than with Kanban or lean management. In addition, young people do not always associate production and procurement with something digitally advanced. However, through practical examples and interactive exercises, these production-related principles can be made more interesting, enabling participants to apply them in a real-world context.
Participants’ Gains
So, we developed this course, in which…
The course equips participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to understand the interconnected nature of supply chain operations, certifications, and their implementation. This comprehensive understanding helps them navigate through the complexity of supply chains, thus allowing them to work in correlation-based operations in their professional lives efficiently. It brings a new level of competence to their roles and increases their chances of succeeding in the industry.
The course demystifies automation and showcases its practical implementation, thereby alleviating fears about being replaced by machines. Participants learn how to use digital tools for process verification and understand that automation and human work can coexist and complement each other. With this newfound knowledge and confidence, they can effectively use these digital tools and augment their role in the workplace rather than fearing replacement by automation.
Despite popular belief, lean management and Kanban are not old-fashioned or uncreative; they are essential tools for efficient supply chain operations. The course digitally makes these principles more exciting and relevant by providing practical examples and engaging exercises. Participants learn how these principles function and how they can be integrated into today’s digital environments. This newfound ability fosters innovation and continuous improvement, significantly enhancing their performance and value in the professional sphere
