Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling
About the Training Program
Production planning focuses on balancing deliveries, capacities, inventory and costs.
Organizations need systematic approaches to establish these balances quickly and effectively.
This training covers structuring production planning processes, information flows, planning and optimization.
Planning and optimization practices will be discussed and compared.
Presentations and all printed training materials provided to participants are in English.
