Production Planning and Control - PPC

About this Course:

Production planning and control refers to two strategies that work cohesively throughout the manufacturing process. Production planning involves what to produce, when to produce it, how much to produce, and more. A long-term view of production planning is necessary to fully optimize the production flow. 

Product management includes advanced planning and control techniques, such as lot sizing, the EOQ method, Order size calculation, Break-even analysis, Assembly line balancing, and many more.

Production control uses different control techniques to reach optimum performance from the production system to achieve throughput targets.

Most suitable for students belonging to mechanical engineering, management, Industrial engineering, Production technology and Manufacturing science. Furthermore, this course covers all the topics for university students having PPC as one of the subjects or a part of Industrial engineering and for ambitious Production managers employed in various industries.

And last but not the least. You are going to understand the ins and outs of an industry from the viewpoint of a person who joined as a trainee (GET) & made his way up in the ladder to become a production engineer.

Course Objectives:

• The knowledge that is required for any GET (Graduate Engineer Trainee) prior to joining an enterprise
• Production planning and control techniques of various industries
• MRP (Material Requirement Planning), Its classes, methodology, implementation, and utility
• Forecasting - Qualitative as well quantitative
• Vital techniques as such EOQ, Break-even analysis, Lot sizing, Order size calculation etc
• Japanese techniques as such Kanban, Mizosomashi etc

Who is the Target Audience?

• Mechanical engineering students having Industrial engineering as one of their subject.
• University students having Production planning as one of the subject
• Aspiring Production managers already working in a industry
