This course focuses on three main areas: prioritizing and sequencing work; executing work plans, implementing controls, and reporting activity results; and evaluating and providing feedback on performance. The course explains techniques for scheduling and controlling production and process operations. It also addresses the execution of quality initiatives and continuous improvement plans as well as controlling and handling inventories. Finally, the course presents techniques for evaluating performance and collecting data for effective feedback.
Candidates focus of the areas of prioritizing and sequencing work, executing work plans and implementing controls, reporting activity results, and providing evaluating feedback on performance. The course explains techniques for scheduling and controlling production processes, the execution of quality initiatives and continuous improvement plans, and the control and handling of inventories. Topics include:
- Prioritizing and Sequencing work to be performed: Interfaces; Production Environment; Scheduling Production and Process Operations.
- Executing the Plans, Implementing Physical Controls, and reporting Results of activities Performed: Authorizing and Reporting Activities for Push Systems; Authorizing and Reporting Activities for Pull Systems; Production Status Reports; Communicating Both Internal and External Customer-Supplier Information; Controlling Resources; Executing Quality Initiatives; Eliminating Waste; Implementing Continuous Improvement Plan.
- Evaluating Performance and providing Feedback; Evaluating Quality Management Processes; Monitoring Supplier Performance; Evaluating the Performance of Production Operations; Cost Management Process.
