    This four-day workshop (delivered virtually over four half-day sessions) helps manufacturers define the critical success factors for designing, implementing, and utilizing a DTO. Using real-world manufacturing examples and an interactive manufacturing case study, participants learn “ready to apply” tips and techniques to model and optimize production processes, supporting operations, product costing, and overall profitability.

    Key Learning Objectives

    • Learn how to initiate, align, and sustain manufacturing process analysis and modeling to optimize asset and/or labour capacities and utilizations, improve operational planning, and enrich costing and operational budgeting in a manufacturing setting
    • Understand the role of DTO modeling technology using an illustrative Canadian DTO software, Collaborative Business Planning (CBP), for process and cost flow visualization and “what-if” scenario-planning analysis
    • Appreciate the value of analyzing current state and simulating future state manufacturing operations in a collaborative environment to improve profitability and long-term viability of the business

    Who Should Attend and Why?

    This workshop provides foundational training for leveraging operational and financial data to develop highly-visual interactive DTO models for any manufacturer. Although any functional role will benefit, positions typically related to DTO implementations include:

    • Production managers focused on resource capacity requirements while decreasing lead times, increasing throughputs, and realizing cost reduction targets
    • Continuous Improvement (CI) managers responsible for executing process improvement initiatives and establishing/maintaining an organizational CI culture
    • Maintenance and Supply Chain managers responsible for aligning and optimizing the supporting processes for streamlining manufacturing
    • Financial managers responsible for resource planning, operational and financial budgeting, and/or costing and profitability analysis
    • Strategic managers/planners dealing with the impact of future customer needs, supply chain disruptions, sustainability initiatives, investment decisions, and other business changes
