Get Certified!

The Demand Driven Operations (DDO)™ program is an eight-hour extension program available for those that have gone through DDI’s Demand Driven Planner (DDP)™ program.  The program assumes a deep technical knowledge of DDMRP and will address in depth the other aspects of the Demand Driven Operating Model (DDOM) including operational metrics, control point scheduling, time and capacity buffer management and the struggle between cost and flow in operations. The program offers unique content not found in the DDP or Demand Driven Leader (DDL)™ programs.  The program is ideal for those in an operational scheduling and/or supervisory role or those that are wishing to gain a full appreciation of the entire DDOM.

 

The DDO program is THE official preparatory course for the Demand Driven Operational Professional (DDOP)™ endorsement certification test.

 

Note: Each participant of the DDO will receive a certificate of completion from the Demand Driven Institute.
