achieved by customers
Once the thoughtware is in place, b2wise’s award winning cloud based end-to-end supply chain planning platform and dedicated customer success team will provide you with the tool and support your needs to be successful.
DDMRP (Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning) is a modernized method to plan and execute your supply chain. It replaces the traditional forecast driven MRP method that was conceived over 50 years ago and has not fundamentally changed since.
The secret sauce of DDMRP is that it synchronizes your entire supply chain with your actual customer demand and not with your forecasts.
To get this right, the model leverages the best of MRP, DRP, Lean, Theory of Constraints and Six Sigma to provide a new method to model, plan, execute and manage your supply chains that is more relevant in today’s VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous).
This method was developed by the Demand Driven Institute and is now approved by ASCM/APICS.

Any successful supply chain planning transformation project needs to start with training, not just for the planners but for the entire organization. In our experience, most planners are not formally trained and end up learning on the job. That is why we have designed our entire implementation process around insuring the planners are educated appropriately and everyone in the organisation understands their impact on planning.
b2wise is a global leader in the certified DDMRP methodology training programs developed by the Demand Driven Institute and certified by ASCM/APICS. The courses we provide are DDP (Demand Driven Planner) , DDL (Demand Driven Leader) and AS&OP (Adaptive S&OP). Duration: 16 hours (2 days)
To help organizations understand what DDMRP is, b2wise has developed a simulation called DDBrix. This Lego bricks workshop breaks down organizational silos and introduces the company to the power of DDMRP in a fun learning environment. Duration: 5 hours
Our team includes nine trainers. Three of them are in the TOP 10 DDMRP instructors worldwide, and six are Master instructors DDMRP. Training is provided in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
To make the transition from forecast driven MRP to DDMRP requires a clearly constructed plan. At b2wise we specialize in helping companies make this transition by providing then with access to leading DDMRP practitioners who will take them on a clearly defined journey that guarantees the best chance of success.
