The trade magazine LOGISTIK HEUTE from Munich-based HUSS-VERLAG and the PMI Production Management Institute from Planegg are continuing their further training initiative for young professionals in 2023 with the "Young Professionals Day SCM and Logistics". Two further training courses will take place on-site in Munich this year. The three to four-strong company teams have the opportunity to further their training with a focus on Sales & Operations Planning and to measure themselves against the competition. These dates are available (daily event from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.):
- Thursday, July 6, 2023, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Campus Pasing
- Thursday, December 7, 2023, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Campus Pasing
“Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) is still the top topic in all industries in 2023! The coordination of demand and supply in day-to-day business is a major challenge for young professionals in the area of supply chain management. We are therefore pleased to welcome the company teams to the Young Professionals Day SCM and Logistics," says Andrea Walbert, Managing Partner of PMI Production Management Institute GmbH, Planegg. “Our training event very realistically depicts the complexity of the decisions to be made and the conflicting goals for the company teams in the S&OP process. The best S&OP process leads to success!”
What the training day is about:
- Dealing with realistic, concrete supply chain challenges in a team as part of an SCM business game.
- Promote teamwork and networked thinking and emphasize them as a competitive advantage.
- To train conscious action - through a clear allocation of roles in the supply chain, sales, purchasing and production.
- Collect data quickly, analyze it and prioritize important decisions under time constraints.
- Questioning the weighting of individual goals to maximize the overall result.
- To work out solutions to conflicts.
- To take important insights as a team into your own day-to-day business.
With "The Fresh Connection (TFC)", a realistic business simulation is used in the action-oriented training format. The SCM business game revolves around a fictitious fruit juice company that has gotten into economic turbulence. There seems to be a multitude of logistical weaknesses in the supply chain. In further training, the junior staff are now taking on the task of leading the fruit juice company out of the crisis as the new management team.
"The teams with three or four members, who take on the roles of purchasing, production, sales and supply chain, take on the task of steering the fruit juice manufacturer towards a positive return on investment (ROI)," explains Matthias Pieringer, Editor-in-Chief of the specialist magazine LOGISTIK TODAY. "The young professionals have to contribute both their specialist knowledge and their team spirit in order to make the best tactical and strategic decisions for their simulation game company."
The participating teams compete in a competition. The best teams can look forward to attractive prizes: the winning team will receive a digital one-year subscription to the trade journal LOGISTIK HEUTE for each team member. The second-placed team will receive a specialist book “Fundamentals of Logistics” from HUSS-VERLAG in Munich for each team member. The third-placed team will receive a specialist book “Innovations in Logistics” from Munich-based HUSS-VERLAG for each team member.
In addition, the participating teams qualify for the online competition "Global PRO Challenge", in which teams from the D-A-CH pool (Germany-Austria-Switzerland) take part annually either in April/May or September/October. The best teams from the D-A-CH pool will be invited to the "Global PRO Final" in November, where they will compete for the main prize of the challenge: an executive supply chain management training.
