The British Academy for Training and Development offers the Manufacturing and Production Planning and Control (MPPC) Course, designed to equip attendees with the core skills that facilitate optimisation of processes in production and ensure operational excellence. This program dives into manufacturing strategies for understanding alignment between production goals and objectives at the business level. The techniques for inventory management will let attendees gain proficiency in the control of stock levels and waste reductions. In addition, demand forecasting techniques will help businesses accurately predict their future needs and plan resources accordingly.                                                                       A lot of attention will be given to production scheduling, teaching attendees how they can allocate their resources with timelines to smooth workflows. Capacity planning is also discussed whereby production capabilities will be addressed, meeting current market demand without either under or over-utilisation of resources. Also discussed under this course are types of quality control systems, methodologies to be used to ensure that products meet quality standards, and improvement in customer satisfaction. The role of lean principles of manufacturing will also be examined, giving ways on how efficiency could increase by the elimination of unnecessary steps in the production process. Finally, the advanced syllabus is interconnected with cross-functional infrastructure in the creation of collaborative relationships meant for smooth operations. At the end of this course, attendees will be able to generate strong production plans, manage the manufacturing systems effectively, and, through excellent planning, control, and balance, drive organisational performance.
