Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert (MB-335)

This accelerated Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert course prepares expert or senior supply chain functional consultants who implement and configure advanced features of Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to meet the requirements of a business.

You will gain advanced knowledge of supply chain management operations, including production, logistics, master planning, and asset management and will identify use cases for applying mixed reality. You will analyse business requirements and translate those requirements into fully-realized business processes and solutions and apply industry-recommended practices to implementations.

In just 4 days, you’ll learn to demonstrate expertise in one or more of the following manufacturing methods:

• Discrete, process, and lean
• Partner with architects, developers, consultants, and other stakeholders to implement solutions that meet or exceed the needs of their customers.

At the end of this course, you’ll sit the Microsoft exam, and achieve your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert certification.

Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you’ll get certified at twice the speed of the traditional training and get access to courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.
