Students review two main focuses on the process of developing and using a production plan, a master production schedule, and the planning processes used in today's manufacturing environment. Through lectures, readings and hands-on learning students examine demand management, Sales and Operations (SOP) planning, and master production schedule. Moreover, students will use demand metrics to create aggregate plans, master production schedules, and Materials Resource Plans (MRP) for components.
