Course Content

The course provides a practical understanding of master scheduling and its impact on the business; the supporting planning process of MRP (material requirements planning). It also covers converting plans to schedules; and how they need to work together to deliver product on time, in full.  The practices, and roles and responsibilities for accurate master data and its associated change control are explained.  Throughout the course the vital disciplined approach and other behavioural issues are highlighted.

An understanding is provided of the core principles and practices around master scheduling and supply point planning, through to interactions with vendors.  The course enables participants, through best practice, to change the way they work to drive supply performance to Capable Planning and Control level.  This is typified by overall 95% + supply capability, which is the foundation for the business improving the supply chain overall through targeted initiatives.  The course also tackles the thorny issue of disciplines and practices required to ensure that good plans are made and properly scheduled and executed.  It is particularly valuable to those implementing ERP, and those managing in an ERP environment.

This practical course is the definitive industry standard for everyone engaged in planning within the extended supply chain and for those responsible for achieving those plans. In providing a deep understanding and practical applications it is particularly suitable for master planners, material and capacity planners and schedulers, supplier planners, and for those engaged in planning logistics and the supply chain.
