End the guesswork
No Time to Raise the Bar?
Companies often lack basic knowledge, leading to excessive trial and error, which tires staff, damages revenue, and complicates processes. Equip yourself with the essential skills to avoid these pitfalls and streamline your supply chain effectively.
Back to basic
We all tend to turn towards advanced techniques when faced with overwhelming challenges. But when complexity only seems to add more confusion rather than solutions, it’s time to get back to basics.
Knowledge matters
Relying solely on software and consultants won’t give you control. To get things in order, foundational knowledge is essential. Without the right foundation, making impactful changes on your own is nearly impossible.
Need to break free from the trial-and-error cycle? Here is the playbook:
1. Master the Basics: Know the fundamentals inside out. Be the go-to person for creative thinking and solutions.
2. Start with Data: Time to get your spreadsheets crunching data because “Without data, you are just a person with an opinion.”
3. Build Your KPIs: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” Improvement is your goal here.
4. Find the Right Balance Between Service and Inventory Turnover: Underquality will cost you, just as much as overquality. Determine where you should stand for optimal financial performance and customer satisfaction.
5. Get Started with your first Forecasting Models : Compensating the lack of processes with more resources never lasts. Learn to allocate the right resources at the right time.
6. Develop your Tools: Create your own tools that combine data, process and KPI. Think automation to do it once, not twice so you stay focused on the goal.
7. Boost your carreer: Have clarity on how to boost your carreer, always find a way to stay sharp.

You can join on the day 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.
You don’t need to have a strong background in Supply Chain. This method is holistic and introductory. It englobes processes, people and tools needed at every step.
On the other hand, a beginner level on Excel (basic functions like Vlookup, Sum, If …) is useful to rebuild the Excel files quickly (be reassured, I film my screen step by step).
It is also important to have a stable Internet connection and Microsoft Excel installed on your computer.
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.
Once you have registered, you will immediately be emailed access to a site reserved exclusively for students. 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.
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.
With 55 Micro Lessons, There are 5 hours of 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 can be completed in 1 week (6 hours/week) for fast learners or up to 2 weeks (3 hours /week) for the busiest professionals.
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, downloadable Excel will be also available for life.

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).
