Course Overview
Resource planning is at the heart of effective supply chain management. Without accurate alignment of people, materials, equipment, and finances, organizations risk inefficiency, delays, and rising costs. This Resource Planning for Effective Supply Chain Management Training Course gives participants the tools to design and implement robust planning systems that maximize resource utilization.
Participants will learn to balance demand forecasts with supply capabilities, apply advanced planning tools, and integrate resource planning into broader supply chain strategies. Through case studies, simulations, and hands-on workshops, they will gain practical skills in capacity planning, inventory optimization, and workforce allocation.
By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to build resilient, cost-effective, and agile supply chain systems.
