INTRODUCTION

Inventory planning is a process involving inventory performance analysis & planning, and purchase decision-making; by reaching right-sized inventory through the process, the organisation will be able to mitigate inventory risk in short term and maximise inventory performance in mid-term and/or long-term. As a direct result, the organisation can satisfy demand at low inventory cost.

about the programme

The digitalisation journey to Industry 4.0 is fundamentally transforming the traditionally siloed supply chains into integrated digital supply networks, in which supply and demand signals are originated at any point and travel immediately throughout the supply networks making data analytics a powerful tool in inventory planning.

Our Immersive and Hands-on Analytics Approach

Meanwhile, the course will pave the way for continuous inventory performance improvement in the journey to Industry 4.0.
