What you'll learn

Key skills and concepts covered throughout this course.

7 outcomes

Discrete Manufacturing: Focuses on order-based production where products change frequently and can be individually tracked or disassembled (e.g., machinery, automobiles, heavy equipment). Training emphasizes standard production orders, routings, and component staging.

Process Manufacturing (PP-PI): Designed for batch-oriented industries where products are manufactured in continuous processes and cannot be disassembled once mixed (e.g., pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and beverage). Key topics include master recipes, process orders, and PI (Process Instruction) sheets for strict compliance.

Repetitive Manufacturing (REM): Ideal for the continuous, high-volume mass production of identical products over a set period (e.g., consumer goods, electronics). Training highlights period-based production planning, rate routings, run schedules, and simplified backflushing.

Master Data Management: Configuring complex Bills of Material (BOM), Work Centers/Resources, Routings/Recipes, and Production Versions.

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP): Forecasting long-term production targets based on historical sales data and projected market trends.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP): Translating demand into actionable planned orders to ensure material availability without tying up capital in excess inventory.

Capacity Planning: Evaluating and leveling work center capacities to identify and resolve scheduling bottlenecks prior to execution.
