Manufacturing Planning and Scheduling

Description: The purpose of this course is to educate the Manufacturing Planning core implementation team about the basic and intermediate functionalities of Manufacturing Planning as a Capacity Planning, Master Production Scheduling, Detailed Scheduling tool. The hands-on session trains participants via a step-by-step process of modeling a sample factory, incorporating one functionality at a time as it’s added to the model. This gives each participant the hands-on experience required for successful implementation. Manufacturing Planning provides the framework needed to begin the Best Practices session where the actual business models are constructed and tested.

Course Objective: Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to build a capacity planning model, whether finite or rough cut.

Student Profile: This course is intended for supply chain planners, plant schedulers and managers who work with or are immediately affected by Logility Manufacturing Planning.
