Production Planning and Control

A Three-Day Training Programme in the Implementation of Production Planning and Control

To survive in the present economic climate companies must be in a position to promise highly competitive deliveries, and must be able to keep these promises. However, the need to contain costs and to preserve liquidity is every bit as great as the need to provide acceptable service.

This means that every employee and every machine must be totally productive, while the investment in raw materials and workin- progress must be reduced to the absolute minimum.

These objectives require production planning and control techniques, which enable managers to control all aspects of the production function as efficiently as possible. The techniques used must be simple, cohesive and effective. If not, systems degenerate into a mass of paperwork, which leads to confusion and frustration, while the department as a whole loses sight of its objectives.
