Oliver Wight introduces master scheduling methods to ensure all processes interact properly within the integrated business.

This course provides the tools you need to ensure that all processes -- Sales and Operations Planning/Integrated Business Planning, demand management, long-range resource planning, rough-cut capacity planning, finishing or final assembly scheduling and master scheduling -- interact properly. Throughout this master scheduling course, you'll learn the methods needed to develop these processes to a high level of performance in order to plan, communicate, and direct overall company activities, including marketing, sales, manufacturing, materials, engineering, and finance, and create a working master production schedule.

A comprehensive master production schedule assures synchronized planning.

Learn techniques to identify root causes of scheduling problems and how to correct them, how to manage the important link between master scheduling and S&OP/IBP, and how master scheduling changes as you move toward lean and agile approaches. This practical master scheduling course will identify how to use performance measures as defined in the Oliver Wight Class A Checklist for Business Excellence to determine trends and help move your company toward a Class A master production schedule.

This course is for people who are concerned with the operation or design of the master schedule and S&OP/IBP process, including people from the functions of materials, engineering, finance, master scheduling, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and customer service. Team attendance early in the Integrated Business Planning process is encouraged. Please call 800-258-3862 to speak with an Oliver Wight representative or register for our master scheduling course.
