The core principles gained from this course will help delegates have a better understanding of how to manage the relationships between sales and marketing stakeholders on the demand side and the manufacturing and other operational stakeholders on the supply side. PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN HOW TO: • Take a different perspective on traditional data such as sales history and forecasts, as well as time-phased inventory projections and production capacity. • Recognise how their forecasts impact manufacturing schedules and inventory levels. • Assess whether they are producing enough products to meet sales demand. • Recognise how production is tied to finance and see the financial impact of production decisions, so appropriate adjustments may be then undertaken. COURSE TOPICS INCLUDE: What is S&OP? – Introduction – Definition and benefits S&OP processes – What information is required? – The stages of the S&OP process (including inputs & outputs) The integration of S&OP into a business – Critical success factors for an effective implementation – Typical roles and responsibility matrix

The NTDA Tyre Technician Development Scheme was introduced following the huge success of the REACT working safely at the roadside licensing scheme. the recent changes to the apprenticeship framework and the general interest expressed by NTDA tyre retailers to have a standardised licensing scheme for retail centre based personnel. This scheme, effectively, is intended to act as a form of self-regulation for the tyre retail industry and represents a very exciting opportunity for both employers and employees in that it improves the mobility of tyre technicians by providing them with a nationally recognised license designed to demonstrate their competency. Similar self-regulation schemes have proven highly effective in other industries, such as the Electro-technical certification Scheme (ECS), which has issued thousands of cards to competent electricians. The NTDA Tyre Technician Professional Development Scheme is based on the following structure: Licensed Retail Tyre Technician (LRTT) Licensed Vehicle service Technician (LVST) Licensed Commercial Tyre Technician (LCTT) (This does not replace the REACT license to work safely at the roadside, which will remain unchanged, as it relates to roadside safe working as opposed to specific commercial tyre fitting competencies) The common criteria for a company to apply for any of the licenses is as follows: Whether applications are submitted by a tyre retailer, manufacture’s training department, or independent training provider, an individual must have been trained or re-trained and assessed as competent against the relevant occupational standards criteria for each license. Evidence of this (such as certificates, training records etc.), must be retained and made available when requested by the NTDA who will maintain a database of all licensed personnel. INTERESTED?
