More than 80 professionals attended the event held on February the 5th in Bologna (Italy) "Improve business results with Demand Driven MRP // Success stories" organized by Advance School, International training and consulting company, Partner of APICS and DDI.

 

Two companies presenting their success stories: Nadella and bioMerieux, which have implemented DDMRP in their plants. After the introduction of Daniele Meldolesi, Partner of Advance, Pascal Quinodon, Site Director of bioMérieux Italia, presented his experience with DDRMP. The bioMerieux project, he said, started from a   training on DDMRP programs  and was supported by external consultancy with a top down approach. The bioMérieux Site Director described all the steps done during the implementation, the outstanding results achieved  and the planned next steps. Also he presented some suggestion for future implementations.

 

 

 

Nadella's approach was different, a company that is part of an international group, with a factory of 50 people in Italy. Oriano Menegatti, Operations Director and Paolo Minnozzi, Production Planner, confirmed what was said by the bioMérieux representative: the results were in line with what was promised by DDI, indeed, even above expectations. Nadella also started with a pilot project, immediately after attending a DDMRP course with Advance School. After a proof of concent period of few months, they moved to a permanent implementation, with limited investment, homemade software and a bottom-up approach and no external support consultancy. This was possible due to the lower complexity of the context and because they chose a limited scope of the project.

All speakers declared that DDMRP has "opened their mind" and that they are currently evaluating other DDMRP implementation with suppliers and customers.

 

Advance School is a Partner of the Demand Driven Institute for Italy and Switzerland and provides international training and certification programs in the DDRMP area.
