Strategic Production Planning, Scheduling and Control
This course aims to satisfy the manufacturing sector needs of skilled workforce to establish and implement strategic production planning and scheduling to meet production targets and cycle time indices.
Today’s manufacturing businesses must plan, schedule, monitor and control their production activities in response to constantly disrupted operations and highly volatile market demand, which necessitates a constant review of their manufacturing system and process decisions to ensure that they are still accurately responding to competing and rapidly changing business priorities, maintaining service levels with appropriate inventory sizing, and effectively delivering profit across a broad range of products with limited available resources. This necessitates a structured collaborative process to entice everyone to work cross-functionally across the organization as a whole, to stay on top of all changes. That is, a periodic review and adjustment to the demand, supply, and inventory plan in order to produce more products and gain market faster, at higher margins, and with more customer needs, and, most importantly, to avoid operating in functional and regional silos. The gap to address, as an enterprise-wide company, is the need for a structured collaborative process that focuses on what to manufacture, and at what pace, in order to sustain that Resilience in Production.
