Adaptative Enterprise Foundations Professional™ is a professional certification offered by the Demand Driven Institute, the global authority on education, training, certification and demand compliance. AEFP™ demonstrates that an individual understands the conceptual differences between conventional demand Supply Chain approaches via MPS, MRP and DRP and emerging flow-based approaches, including the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) model.
Objectives
- Understand why international supply chain management is undergoing a major transformation worldwide and across all industries.
- Learn to calculate the return on investment (ROI) of investments and understand the tensions between cost reduction and flow protection.
- Anticipate the transition from traditional linear supply chain management to the "complex adaptive" systemic flow management approach.
- Evaluate conventional flow management models as well as the Demand-Driven Adaptive Enterprise (DDAE) model, with its stock, lead-time and capacity buffers.
- Visualize the transition from the MRPII model with S&OP + MPS to the DD S&OP and Adaptive S&OP processes, where DDMRP is just one cog in the wheel.
- Discover the existence of a fourth buffer: skills, and its role in supporting change and implementing innovations.
