Course Introduction

This module of the CPIM program includes inventory management, materials requirements planning (MRP), capacity requirements planning (CRP) and procurement and supplier planning for both goods and services.

Detailed scheduling and planning translates product level plans and schedules generated at the master planning level into requirements that can be procured or produced in all types of environments, including process and service industries.

This process supports the strategies and objectives established by the company as constrained by lead time, cost, equipment, personnel, sustainability issues or other constraints. The subject matter covers anything required to bridge the master planning area with the execution and control of the operations.
In addition, the planning, scheduling, resource allocation and implementation of projects is discussed for managing the supply of products and services.

How to use inventory policies to minimise inventory and still meet customer service objectives
Recognising when to use which capacity technique and how that technique supports the master schedule and production plan
