LO1: Identify production priorities for production planning and scheduling; and forecast production demand against internal capacity and resources.
LO2: Formulate production plans, highlighting key timelines, deliverables, accountabilities and resource requirements.
LO3: Define production targets required to meet cycle time indices and develop schedules to match production priorities.
LO4: Schedule planned shutdowns, adjust production schedules and respond to unplanned events to minimize disruptions and optimise efficiency.
LO5: Track and investigate variances to production plans and review procedures to identify opportunities to improve scheduling processes.

What You'll Learn

Today's manufacturing businesses must plan, schedule, monitor and control their production activities in response to constantly disrupted operations and highly volatile market demand, which necessitates a constant review of their manufacturing system and process decisions to ensure that they are still accurately responding to competing and rapidly changing business priorities, maintaining service levels with appropriate inventory sizing, and effectively delivering profit across a broad range of products with limited available resources. This necessitates a structured collaborative process to entice everyone to work cross-functionally across the organization as a whole, to stay on top of all changes. That is, a periodic review and adjustment to the demand, supply, and inventory plan in order to produce more products and gain market faster, at higher margins, and with more customer needs, and, most importantly, to avoid operating in functional and regional silos. The gap to address, as an enterprise-wide company, is the need for a structured collaborative process that focuses on what to manufacture, at what pace, in order to sustain that Resilience in Production.

Businesses should not be lulled into a state of static, short-sighted, and reactive production planning in the name of cost containment and immediate efficiency. Instead, they should have considered overall resource availability, supply disruptions, and rapidly changing market demand in a holistic manner. That gap offers a chance to re-learn, evolve, and reshape manufacturing for the future, how to balance well with a variety of factors in producing the right products at the right volume at the right time to meet the fluctuating market demands. In addition to dealing with the inevitable changes from multiple stakeholders and market fluctuations with varying priorities, production planning in global manufacturing organizations today is constantly evolving - driven by the needs of future factory digitization
