Why it’s urgent to optimise our supply chain?
Over the past 5 years, inventory has outpaced sales growth across all industries. Meanwhile, the operating margins of companies have declined from 16% in 2012 to 10% in 2022
According to a study by Supply Chain Insights LLC, for the last decade the reasons have been the same:
- Don’t master the various features (Simple & complex formulas, pivot table, Macros, Power Query…)
- Waste time and energy from repetitive tasks
- Spend too much time creating Excel tables, and not enough time analyzing the data in those tables
- Have no results, resulting in daily stress.

This program is designed for anyone who wants to improve their supply chain skills, including:
- Professionals working in supply chain
- Professionals working in purchasing
- Professionals working in logistics
- Professionals working in transportation
- Professionals working in finance
- Professionals working in industry / production
- Professionals working in data science
- Business Analysts
- Supply chain and operations consultants
- Executives (COO, CFO, VP, Directors …)
- Entrepreneurs wishing to optimize their cash flow and turnover
- And all people wishing to make a reconversion in this strategic field
You don’t necessarily need to have a background in supply chain and logistics. This method aims to take you from a foundation level to expert step by step by repeating what I do with examples.
This program will start with an introduction of the main principles before going into more and more detail on techniques and methods.
On the other hand, a beginner level on Excel (basic functions like FindV, Sum, If …) is useful to rebuild the dashboards quickly (I reassure you, I film my screen step by step).
It is also important to have a stable Internet connection and Microsoft Excel installed on your computer.
Once you have registered, you will immediately be emailed access to a site reserved exclusively for program members. There you will find downloadable videos and Excel files organized in modules that cover everything you need to know one by one. We’ll get right down to business with simple examples and methods..
I will also ask you to share with me your professional goals as well as your difficulties and blocks. I will then prepare a video coaching to help you overcome them as well as a direct feedback to improve the visibility of your LinkedIn profile.
We all have different schedules. That’s why our program is based on your availability and your desire to get up to speed quickly. You can log in and progress through the course at any moment and see improvement in the way your forecast after putting in practice the first few lessons.
There are 20 hours content and exercises to apply immediately, because I know your time is valuable and I will get right to the point.
The completion time varies according to your initial level and how much you can apply in your company.
The training is designed to last 8 weeks (4 hours/week) or 4 weeks (8 hours/week) for fast learners
Each module is broken down into short episodes of less than 10 minutes to allow you to progress quickly and at your own pace.
The resources (videos, tools, downloadable files) will be available immediately after your payment has been confirmed and available for life.
The certificate, Excel and Power Point downloads will be also available for life.
Excel 365 is used in this program. The files are compatible with versions 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and office 365 in French and English.
The dashboards will however display slightly differently on excel versions prior to 2013 and MAC version (I will give several alternative solutions if you have a MAC).
You get access to the method in a replay platform, allowing you to go at your rhythm. Some very motivated trainees will go through it in a few days, while others will take a few weeks with less time. I record my screen as I build dashboards in front of you. Then, all you need to do is repeat my actions with your data. Or you can use mine to practice.
After your order, you have 60 days to review the course, apply my advice and decide if it meets your expectations.
If you haven’t progressed, just send an email for a 100% refund.
The only condition to be eligible for reimbursement is to try the techniques that are revealed in this program.
If you would like to certify more than one person from your team and receive team support and additional bonuses.

Yes, you can join today and not start the program for several weeks or months. Start at your own pace. However, I recommend that you devote at least 30 minutes a week to the program to get quick results.
