Description
Is your manufacturing business strategically positioned to outpace its competitors? The effective streamlining of your company's approach to both planning and control is the key to cutting costs, increasing efficiency, and staying one giant step ahead of the competition. In this fast-moving industry where customer demands rule all, regularly meeting and exceeding those demands is vital for success. Based on the instructor's comprehensive and hands-on operational experience, this course will teach you the basic principles and best practices behind production management, including essential concepts like decision making, systems design and capacity, facilities location and layout, demand forecasting, resource and materials planning, capacity management and production control, and materials and inventory strategies. Upon completion of this course, manufacturing professionals and business owners alike will have the necessary practical skills to improve both their personal performance and the overall proficiency of their company's manufacturing operations. This course will provide you with the knowledge, analysis, and advanced practices your business needs to stay current and competitive as an integral part of the supply chain industry. It will also show you how to consistently meet customer requirements, and how to meet those crucial obligations with significantly greater speed and accuracy than the competition.
