Dennis Groves, President of Oliver Wight Americas, explains why this course is important to companies: Corporations are experiencing the need now, more than any time recently, to conserve cash on the one hand and, on the other hand, to invest cash wisely. This situation is causing companies to review decision-making processes, such as capacity planning. There are opportunities to improve capacity planning, chiefly better ways to communicate and align with both internal and external suppliers capacity. With improved alignment and integration come better capacity investment decisions.

One of the instructors of the class is James Correll, a capacity planning expert with decades of experience in helping companies better manage and plan capacity. He is also author of the book Gaining Control: Managing Capacity and Priorities. Jim observes: This course is different than other capacity planning courses in that it is not focused on just planning capacity inside ones own company. Participants will learn how to collaborate with suppliers in developing integrated capacity plans and how to improve risk management. The material is oriented around the supply chain, not just a single node in the supply chain.
