Manufacturing and production planning and control (MPPC) Course
Introduction:
The manufacturing and production planning and control (MPC) system encompasses the comprehensive management of all manufacturing aspects. This includes material management, machine and personnel scheduling, and coordination with suppliers and key customers.
Efficiently managing material flow, optimizing resource utilization, and meeting customer demands are the primary objectives of the MPC system. It involves leveraging the capacities of suppliers, internal facilities, and sometimes customers to ensure timely fulfillment of customer requirements. As the global marketplace continues to evolve, it is imperative for your Manufacturing Planning and Control (MPC) system to adapt and stay up-to-date with technological advancements, product developments, and market conditions.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the Manufacturing and production planning and control (MPPC) training course you will learn how to:
- Evaluating purchase orders to create suitable Manufacturing and production schedules.
- Estimating the amount of material, equipment, and labour required for production.
- Promptly addressing and resolving Manufacturing and production issues to minimize delays in production.
- Coordinating manufacturing and production operations in accordance with material, labour, and equipment availability.
- Recommending viable solutions to reduce manufacturing and production costs as well as improve production processes and product quality.
- Effecting changes to Manufacturing and production schedules to ensure that production deadlines are met.
- Compiling status and performance reports and submitting them to management in a timely manner.
- Promptly informing the relevant departments of changes to current Manufacturing and production schedules.
