Both ERP and supply chain management are subjects that require an understanding of business operations,planning and execution.
This course gives an insight into how the best practice business principles and concepts of Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) can be applied in the creation and running of an effective and efficient supply chain, to maximise business success. It is a necessary forerunner to the more detailed MRP II Mechanics Course that follows.
Topics covered in this course will include:
- Business objectives
- Traditional inventory replenishment,reorder point ‘ROP’
- Material requirements planning (MRP)
- Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II)
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
- Closing the loop and performance measurement
- Supply chain management
- Implementation issues for success first time
This one-day course is an effective overview of and introduction to the topic of manufacturing planning and control systems. As such, it is relevant to all areas of an organisation – including many non-manufacturing environments. It will also benefit those charged with selecting and implementing such systems, as well as any staff on ERP/supply chain implementation teams.
