Overview

What this course is about

Active working session designed to focus on material management to ensure the planning and scheduling process at your plant is fully supported. This workshop will evaluate the gaps in the current state of material management with best practices. Members of the workshop will also define the roles and responsibilities for all positions involved with material management. Finally, an action plan will be formalized to ensure the plant team can successfully implement the new roles and responsibilities to fully support the planning and scheduling process.

This workshop combines theory and practical examples to define all stages involved with material management , including parts ordering, receiving, storage, kitting, parts return, and data analysis. The outcome is not a report—but actionable strategies ready for deployment.
