Barloworld Supply Chain Software has developed CAST Aurora - Next Generation Network Optimisation to help your business maintain competitive advantage in supply chain modelling.

Developed in state-of-the-art 3 tier architecture, CAST Aurora facilitates bigger, faster and more complex supply chain models. A simple and intuitive map driven model building interface permits easy and rapid model building.

CAST Aurora's ground breaking Multi-time period optimisation functionality enables users to:

• Optimise & identify the network implementation plan

• Permit stock build optimisation in response to seasonality

• Permit tactical sizing of the network resources overtime (warehouses, manpower, trucks, ships, etc.)

CAST Aurora is available now to:

• Help you identify greater supply chain cost savings

• Permit you to engage with your supply chain strategically & tactically on an ongoing basis

• Enable continuous network improvement

As a CAST user you need to know the benefits CAST Aurora can bring to your operation and understand how to optimise your supply chain network overtime.

We are pleased to invite you to join the latest CAST Aurora training programme, designed to give you the answers for your network modelling requirements.

** Space is limited, so please book early **

The CAST Aurora training course is a 5 day course which is split into two parts ie Part One focuses on Single time period modelling and Part Two Multi time periods.

You must complete Part One before attending Part Two. Part Two can be completed at a later advertised date.

The full course is designed for planners and managers who are about to use CAST Aurora and wish to fully explore the power of optimising the network model across multiple time periods and who have experience of planning and analysing distribution networks, preferably from an appropriate supply chain background - with computing and data manipulation skills (basic PC - Windows - and spreadsheet skills).

CAST Aurora - Next Generation Network Optimisation Part One (3 days)

Birmingham, UK

Monday 5^th to Wednesday 7^th December 2011

CAST Aurora Part One training course is the starting point for all users. Part One is a three-day course which seeks to take the delegate through all the key areas of CAST Aurora functionality so that the individual feels confident to build their own supply chain models. The course builds up a network model from first principles using a step-by-step approach such that by the end of the course students should be able to develop a model of a distribution network in a single time period environment using CAST Aurora, and test alternative strategies against that model.

CAST Aurora - Next Generation Network Optimisation Part Two (2 days)

Birmingham, UK

Thursday 8^th to Friday 9^th December 2011

This course has been designed for users who have previously attended the CAST Aurora Part One training course.

CAST Aurora Part Two training course is a two-day course which develops upon the concepts introduced in the CAST Aurora Part One training. This course focuses on the new options available within CAST Aurora to optimise the network across multiple time periods, whilst taking account of a variety of different constraints that can be imposed on the network model. Delegates will work through a series of exercises that demonstrate a seasonal business, a migration plan, building inventory, profit maximisation, expanding storage capacity and introducing additional production shifts for a multi-level Bill of Materials scenario.
