Planning & Scheduling Course Overview

All businesses generally have some form of plan for the supply of products and services to customers on time. These schedules or plans in small organisations are relatively simple to organise, manage and deliver.

In a growing business or large organisation with multiple products and services, the schedules and plans can be very complex even without the added expectations that purchases, inventory and resources be used just in time. These schedules are beyond placing an entry in your diary. This training course introduces practical process planning techniques for the delivery of products and services, introducing the concept of trigger points and visual pull scheduling systems.

Courses offered:

Bills of materials
Problem Solving, Corrective Action – Root cause analysis
Standardised Work
Takt Time, Kanban and work Balance
Work Flow and Just in Time Processing
