The APICS Fraser Valley Chapter is excited to be hosting this Demand Driven Planner program. Looking forward Demand Driven MRP will be the way of the future in planning production and demand. Do not miss this opportunity in Langley, BC to stay ahead and keep your supply chain moving with the right inventories in the right places.

About:

DDMRP is a formal planning and execution method designed to correct the inadequacies and inappropriate rules of conventional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) given today’s more volatile, complex and service oriented supply and manufacturing scenarios. The method was first fully articulated in the latest edition of Orlicky’s Material Requirements Planning (McGraw-Hill, 2011) co-authored by Carol Ptak and Chad Smith. Chad Smith serves as the CDDP Program Director.

Students will take away from this program all the details needed to launch their own DDRMP projects.  Included in the class will be demonstration and sharing of an excel pilot worksheet.
