The courses are delivered by Optiant's Professional Services Organization, our dedicated group of industry experts with deep operations knowledge from the world's best companies. Our analytical and modeling competency combined with enterprise application experience and broad consulting backgrounds, create a dynamic and comprehensive classroom.

The program blends discussion of today's most advanced supply chain theories and industry best practices, with hands-on practical applications of the solution itself. As students successfully master the navigation and functionality of the PowerChain suite, they dive deeper into specific company issues and begin to uncover new approaches and solutions that can be transferred directly from the classroom to their own operations.

PowerChain customers understand that supply chain success is so much more than just optimal inventory levels and locations. Rather, it's about strategies to get products into the hands of consumers faster and more cost-effectively while keeping service levels high. Each course offers opportunities to examine supply chains strategies with corporate goals for profitability and market share. We use the solution's scenario builders to examine postponement strategies, direct-ship strategies, service level optimization, product portfolio rationalization, outsourcing mixes, and network design rationalization.

The PowerChain suite returns benefits year-over-year, far beyond the initial rollout. With such robust capabilities in the hands of supply chain stakeholders, Optiant helps customers find the true ROI that will keep evolving and growing through responsive and resilient supply chain design.
