Testimonials

“Superior supply chains aren't just fast and cost-effective. They are also agile, adaptable and responsive. Superior supply chains assure that all involved company interests are aligned through effective collaboration. CPFR® is a VICS leadership initiative with a proven track record for achieving supply chain collaboration and alignment.”

 

Dr. Donald J. Bowersox, University Professor and Dean Emeritus, Michigan State University

 

"The training provided me with practical tools and solutions to obtain accurate planning forecasts to assist Schneider in delivering against day-to-day customer transportation needs"

 

Tina Norman, Manager - Retail Customer Service, Schneider National, Inc.

 

"The CPFR® Certification training was a tremendous opportunity to spend several days with very seasoned training professional, industry parishioners and CPFR program leaders from various industries.  Program quickly sets the stage with assessment survey of where you are, and where leading practice collaboration is and needs to be headed.   Throughout the two plus days, the instructors created the environment of where leading practice companies can improve.  This was based on various anecdotal descriptions, and case studies and discussions on various industry best and leading practices.   I highly encourage companies to ensure program leaders in the collaborative arena add this training to their key learning's requirements for those individuals that will and are transforming relationships to demand sensing environments that requires more and more data used for exception based execution and key collaboration on events that drive improved business results. "

 

Jack Watson, Sr. Director, Global Business Operations, Motorola, Inc. 

 

"As retailers and suppliers expand CPFR®  and other collaborative initiatives, VICS certification creates an environment for even greater success. For all experience levels -- from new adopters to seasoned practitioners -- this engaging program will help bring out the best in any CPFR program. We certify our solution consultants and encourage our customers to do so as well. Indeed, this is an important component of any strategy to collaboratively increase forecast accuracy, improve in-stock availability and reduce inventory."
