Companies face an increasing need to innovate their operational models and implement best practices that enable them to succeed in the market, improve customer service, and enhance their EBITDA.
Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) is a planning and execution methodology that has gained significant and growing importance in recent years, as conventional MRP has often proven inadequate for competing successfully in markets characterized by highly variable demand.
The complexity and high variability of markets, supply, and competition make the use of standard MRP planning techniques increasingly difficult and less effective. Classical MRP is based on assumptions of predictable demand and simple supply scenarios—conditions that are becoming increasingly unrealistic. To align production and supply chain organizations with these new contexts, the application of new principles and methods is required. DDMRP provides an innovative and practical solution.
The Demand Driven Leader (DDL) program, designed for functional managers within organizations, conveys the key concepts of DDMRP and teaches their application after analyzing the specific business context.
The program provides a high-level examination of the Demand Driven Operating Model, Demand Driven S&OP, and their benefits from both tactical and strategic perspectives.
Upon completion of the course, each participant will receive a certificate of attendance from the Demand Driven Institute.
Participants may also take the DDI exam to obtain the prestigious DDLP – Demand Driven Leader Professional certification.
Two DDL training paths have been defined, delivered over 1–2 months by certified instructors:
- Classroom path: 2 consecutive full-day
- Live Webinar path: 4 sessions of 4 hours each
Upon request, Advance also offers in-house training programs tailored to organizational needs.

Upon successful completion of the exam, DDI will award the DDLP certification.
