Production Problems Solving Course

On completion of this course the participant will be able to:

• Have acquired the necessary knowledge and experience in order to recognize the production management and planning problems
• be able to select and use the most appropriate methods and tools for the solution of problems related to materials management, production planning, shop floor scheduling, inventory control
• be able to use the very useful MRP algorithm for the organization of the production
• be able to develop the cost function for materials management
• be able to use simple MRP software and building on that to proceed to more complicated production systems such as planning and control methods, inventory and stock control etc. as well as the most modern production planning and management systems such as ERPs.
• Know and be able to work on the basic concepts of maintenance, the parameters affecting the maintenance cost and its identification, the concepts of preventive and predictive maintenance
