CPIM:
MASTER PLANNING OF RESOURCES
In this course, students explore processes used to: develop sales and
operations plans; identify and assess internal and external demand and
forecasting requirements; and effect an achievable master schedule consistent
with business policies, objectives, and resource constraints. The course focuses
on developing and validating a plan of supply, relating management of demand to
environment, and developing and validating the master schedule.
In addition, the course encompasses concepts for transforming sales,
marketing, and business requirements into a feasible and economic operations
plan in various business environments. It also addresses concepts and
methodologies for managing projected and actual demands from distribution
networks and external customers. Finally, the course presents methods for
integrating sales and operations plans, demand forecasts, and customer demand
into a specific master schedule.
Outline
- Developing and Validating a Plan of Supply encompasses the processes,
concepts and techniques for transforming business and market requirements
into feasible and economical business and operations plans in various
business environments. The processes include ensuring consistency among the
functional plans, ensuring feasibility of all plans, and determining the
form, location, and level of various resources (e.g. labor, capacity,
inventory and capital) to satisfy anticipated demand.
