WHY Skills4X

Why practical, not theoretical

Most supply chain training stops at definitions of safety stock and the bullwhip effect. This programme has you size the safety stock, run the reorder policy, and read the variance — the work that actually moves service level and working capital.

Built around your work

Every session uses your real tasks, data and tools — you build assets you keep, not slideware.

Proof you can show

You finish with a portfolio artifact and a verifiable certificate governed by our ISO/IEC 42001:2023-certified AIMS.

Practical sessions your teams can apply immediately
Role-specific programs, not one-size-fits-all curricula
Learn by doing — every session is hands-on and applied
Custom content built around your tools and workflows
Ongoing support, adoption tracking & reinforcement
THE SHIFT

The shift

You move from firefighting shortages and reacting to whatever the ERP shows today, to running a repeatable planning cycle — demand, supply, inventory, and execution — that you can stand behind in front of operations and finance.

TODAY
Doing it the hard way
The skill is picked up ad-hoc, with no real method
You reinvent your approach on every single task
Manual, repetitive steps eat hours every week
You can’t reliably repeat what worked last time
Nothing concrete to show for the effort
WHEN YOU FINISH
Working with a real method
A repeatable method running on your real, day-to-day work
A reusable, program-tailored resource library you rely on
Faster, more consistent output that wins hours back
Work you can check, defend and stand behind
A portfolio piece that proves the skill to your team
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

By the end, you'll be able to…

 Build a baseline statistical forecast and measure its accuracy with MAPE and bias
 Set safety stock and reorder points from service-level targets and demand variability
 Run an ABC/XYZ segmentation and assign a stocking policy to each class
 Construct a constrained S&OP plan that reconciles demand, supply, and capacity
 Calculate and defend the cost-to-serve for a product or customer
 Design a supplier scorecard and run a structured sourcing and negotiation process
 Map a network and model the service-vs-cost trade-off of a stocking decision
 Read inventory health — turns, days of supply, excess and obsolete — and act on it

Our approach

Our programmes help professionals get genuinely good at the work itself. We combine education, real examples, and guided practice so people leave with skills they can apply immediately.

01

Assess

Map your team’s current skill level and identify gaps by role.

02

Design

Build a curriculum aligned to your tools and learning goals.

03

Train

On-demand modules and real-world exercises you apply to your own work.

04

Measure

Track adoption and confidence with post-training assessments.

CURRICULUM

A four-module path from demand signal to a board-ready operating plan.

Each module builds one core capability of the supply chain operating cycle, with worked examples and a deliverable you produce on your own data.

01

Module 1 · self-paced

Demand Planning & Forecasting

Build statistical forecasts, layer in judgment and events, and measure accuracy so you know which products you can trust the number on.

Module 4 · self-paced

S&OP, Logistics & Cost-to-Serve

Reconcile demand and supply into one constrained plan, model the network, and quantify the true cost of serving a product or customer.

Guided lessons

Hands-on lab

Applied output

Full syllabus, week by week

Moving averages, exponential smoothing, trend and seasonality, and choosing the right model for each demand pattern.

MAPE, MAD, tracking signal, and the forecast-value-added review that separates signal from noise.

Service-level math, demand and lead-time variability, EOQ, reorder points, and min/max replenishment.

ABC/XYZ analysis, make-to-stock vs make-to-order, and matching policy to product behaviour.

Category strategy, RFx, total cost of ownership, supplier scorecards, and negotiation preparation.

The monthly planning cycle, capacity and supply constraints, network modelling, and cost-to-serve analysis.

HANDS-ON

You leave with a working S&OP plan and the analysis behind it

Across the modules you build a complete planning pack on your own product line or a provided scenario — a measured forecast, a segmented inventory policy, a supplier scorecard, and a constrained S&OP plan with the service-vs-cost trade-offs made explicit.

It is the artifact a planner or supply chain manager actually presents to operations and finance, not a worksheet exercise.

YOUR TOOLKIT

Your toolkit

You work in Excel for forecasting, safety-stock and EOQ models and segmentation, and Power BI for inventory-health and service-level dashboards, applying standard frameworks — ABC/XYZ, the SCOR model, S&OP, and total cost of ownership — the way they are used on the job.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Run the core supply chain cycle yourself: produce a measured demand forecast, set inventory and safety-stock policy to a service target, build a supplier scorecard, and assemble a constrained S&OP plan with the cost trade-offs spelled out.

Demand and supply planners, buyers and procurement staff, inventory and logistics analysts, and operations managers who want to move from reacting to shortages to running a deliberate planning method. It also suits people moving into a supply chain role from a related function.

It is fully self-paced and on-demand. You work through the modules on your own schedule, with worked examples and templates you can apply immediately. There are no live cohorts or fixed times.

Plan for roughly four to six hours per module. You can move faster on topics you already know and spend longer on the hands-on builds, since the modules and deliverables stay available for you to revisit.

A complete planning pack on your own data or a provided scenario: a forecast with accuracy and bias measured, an ABC/XYZ segmentation with stocking policy, a supplier scorecard, and a constrained S&OP plan with a cost-to-serve view — a portfolio piece you can show at work.

No. The forecasting and inventory maths are taught step by step and built in Excel, with each formula explained in plain terms. If you can work with a spreadsheet, you have everything you need to start.
