Objective

The world’s a supply chain; and it’s ripe for conquering by those with the right skills and credentials. Far-reaching issues — such as global expansion and sourcing, the rapid growth of multinational corporations and strategic partnerships, fluctuating gas prices and environmental concerns — dramatically impact every organization’s corporate strategy and bottom line. These emerging trends have made supply chain management a critical business field in the world today. As more and more companies realize the importance of their supply chain, they are competing to fill a growing number of positions from a limited pool of trained specialists — resulting in a massive shortage of qualified supply chain professionals across all markets and industries.

This course covers principles and techniques of effective Production Planning and Control. Combining lectures with a computer-based simulation allows delegates to put theory into practice. This unique “learning by doing” approach has proved highly effective in ensuring that knowledge is retained, understood and rapidly applied.

The course also addresses key behavioral and interpersonal issues that can make or break the effectiveness of production planning and control.
