Course description
The manufacturing and production planning and control (MPC) system is concerned with planning and controlling all aspects of manufacturing, including managing materials, scheduling machines, and people, and coordinating suppliers and key customers.
The essential task of the MPC system is to manage efficiently the flow of material, to manage the utilization of people and equipment, and to respond to customer requirements by utilizing the capacity of our suppliers, that of our internal facilities, and (in some cases) that of our customers to meet customer demand. With the global marketplace constantly changing, it is crucial that your Manufacturing Planning and Control (MPC) system evolve to stay current with technology, product, and market conditions.
Manufacturing and production planning and control (MPPC)training course is essential if you are working in any capacity of operations in the supply chain because you’ll gain a thorough understanding of Manufacturing Planning and Control key elements. You’ll also master a variety of decision tools that can assist you in effective planning and execution.
