Production Planning Scheduling and Control 2013

A production (or manufacturing) planning and control (MPC) system is used across multiple industries. An effective MPC system is critical to the success of any company. According to a study conducted by APICS and the Institute of Business Forecasting and Planning (IBF), 36% of companies with production indicated stall or slow movement with Operational Planning efforts. It remains a demanding process. The companies that best control the broad span of production activities are the ones that will survive in today’s competitive market.

There is a need to gain control of the “value chain” – the interface of production activities with purchasing and distribution to ensure customers will receive better value for their money, giving them an edge over their competition. This is why production floor leaders today cannot simply apply traditional practices to the additional activities they are required to control.
Salvo Global’s 3-day intensive Masterclass on “Production Planning, Scheduling & Control” provides delegates with valuable knowledge to improve operating performance through effective strategies to execute, monitor & control production. Learn how to set up the tactical moves involving both the leadership and operating personnel, yet avoid the pain which is typically associated with controlling a production floor.
