From Planning Theory to Operational Control

This program helps participants build practical planning systems that improve flow, strengthen coordination, and support better production decisions.

Program Overview

Production planning is no longer a back-office task. It is a critical execution function.

In today’s volatile and competitive markets, production planning plays a central role in connecting strategic priorities with day-to-day operational reality. This program provides a structured and practical view of modern production planning, blending foundational concepts with real business application.

What You’ll Learn

The core building blocks of a modern production planning system.

Participants explore the planning principles, tools, and operational logic needed to move from fragmented decision-making toward a more proactive and disciplined production environment.

Production Methods

Understand make-to-stock, make-to-order, assemble-to-order, and how each model fits different operating environments.

Business-Specific Planning Needs

Learn how company strategy, market conditions, constraints, and priorities shape planning choices.

Strategic, Tactical, and Operational Planning

Bridge long-term company objectives with short-term execution and real-time production requirements.

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)

Improve coordination between demand expectations, capacity reality, and resource balance.

Proactive vs. Reactive Planning

Examine how responsiveness affects agility, customer satisfaction, and planning efficiency.

MPS and MRP Foundations

Use master production scheduling and material requirements planning to support more disciplined manufacturing.

Scheduling and Routing

Learn techniques for improving shop floor scheduling, sequencing, and resource utilization.

Goals, Constraints, and Priorities

Manage trade-offs in production planning based on company structure, targets, and practical realities.

Who Should Attend?
