Materials Management and Control Course
Introduction:
In the past five decades, there have been significant advancements in modern manufacturing. When properly planned and executed, these theories and models optimize manufacturing efficiency, leading to increased customer satisfaction and profits. One of the most influential developments was the introduction of Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) in the late 1960s, which revolutionized productive operations.
Manufacturing remains a crucial aspect of the economy in both developed and developing countries. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to implement tools that improve effectiveness and establish a competitive position through low-cost production. Moreover, the service sector, including tourism, healthcare, engineering, construction, and government operations, can also benefit from adopting the best practices of material requirements planning. By enhancing customer satisfaction through timely and high-quality delivery, both manufacturing and service sectors add value to the country's citizens and establish competitiveness in the global economy. Ultimately, organizations that utilize modern manufacturing principles for production planning and inventory control will become preferred global suppliers, offering low-cost, high-quality goods and services.
Course Objectives:
This course will address the principles of Material Requirements Planning and how it impacts the production planning and inventory control using the best practices in modern manufacturing theories and practices. Participants will gain greater appreciation to the benefits of positioning their operations and optimize the value from the supply chain.
