Introduction

    The importance of training courses is not only limited to professional life, as most of us think but training courses aim to transfer knowledge and practical experiences that enrich the skills of individuals and enhance their self-confidence, which contributes to the preparation of cadres which in turn contributes to the development and progress of institutions. Therefore, Strategic Vision Training Center aims to enhance the skills and experiences of individuals through the strongest training programs to keep pace with every development in the labor market.

Objective

• As the driving force in a manufacturing environment, Material Requirements Planning (MRP).
• Discover how to use MRP outputs to manage the material flow process, in both stable and unstable environments.
• Improvements in inventory levels, delivery performance, quality and customer satisfaction are achievable - even in the worst environments
• Material requirements planning (MRP) is a production planning, scheduling, and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes.
• An MRP integrates data from production schedules inventory and the Bill of Materials (BOM) to calculate purchasing and shipping schedules for the parts or components required to build a product.
• Most MRP systems are software-based, while it is possible to conduct MRP manually as well.
