Aspen SCM Power User

This course provides intermediate-level training in the architecture, management and troubleshooting of Aspen SCM models. The idea of the course is to provide the needed tools for power users, customer IT support and services partners (ISPs) to become more independent in terms of performing model maintenance, investigating issues and errors, and implementing minor alterations to the original design.

Audience:

  • This course is aimed at customers, IT support or services partners (ISPs) who would like to gain more ownership regarding the maintenance and troubleshooting of their Aspen SCM model
  • After taking this course, customers will be able to subsequently begin the study of the architecture of their own configured models. the motivation for this could be e.g., the developent of an internal team with deeper knowledge of SCM; in order to support, maintain and potentially make minor additions or modifications to their configured models
  • Participants will typically have a user-level knowledge of at least one of the SCM CAPs (Plant Scheduler, Demand Manager or Supply Chain Planner)

Training Details

  • Course Id:

    SCM206

  • Duration:

    2 day(s)

  • CEUs Awarded:

    1.4

  • Level:

    Intermediate

Benefits

  • Understand the concept of SCM Configured Applications (CAPs) and the basics of SCM architecture
  • Gain familiarity with the architecture, features and management of libraries
  • Perform model management
  • Handle multi-site rollouts
  • Apply useful utilities to incorporate minor modifications into existing models
  • Investigate errors and issues

Approach

  • Instruction on main topics
  • Hands-on problem-solving approach, in order for students to become proficient in the investigation of errors and issues

Pre-requisites

  • This course is recommended for customers, IT support or services partners who have at least user-level experience with one or more of the SCM CAPs. Alternatively, one of the user-level CAP training courses (SCM101, SCM102 or SCM103) should be taken prior to registering for SCM206
  • Participants should know the basics of computer coding (no particular language is required)
  • Participants should have at least a basic understanding of supply chain management concepts
