WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Move Beyond Theory
Experience hands-on training using games, models, and AI to transform supply chain theory into operational practice.
Most organizations have plans, but few have a planning process that consistently survives real-world volatility. In this course, you’ll learn how to apply the Proven Path, our founder’s transformation framework, to build master scheduling, capacity planning, and cross-functional execution that survives under pressure. You’ll also see how Class A organizations design it as a single system with clear decision points, defined ownership, and stable feedback loops.
Move beyond understanding what “good” looks like and into building something you can take back to your business. Throughout this section, you will translate learnings into a practical 90-day execution plan focused on the highest-impact constraints in your own environment. Discover how to identify where your planning process is failing and how to prioritize interventions that create visible improvements.
Sales, operations, finance, and supply chain often operate under different definitions of success. This creates invisible friction that results in missed forecasts, excess inventory, and constant expedites. In this course, you will learn how to eliminate fragmentation by building a single, trusted demand signal your entire organization can align around. You will also identify planning boundaries that stabilize execution and allow teams to focus on running the business instead of constantly debating it.
Identify how to use AI as a practical support layer inside a disciplined planning system, rather than as a standalone solution. You’ll apply tools such as Copilot, ChatGPT, and planning-workflow AI inside a Class A discipline and use AI for demand sensing, exception handling, and scenario planning without losing human judgment.
