Manufacturing Planning & Control Systems

Workshop Overview

The manufacturing systems of today and tomorrow must be flexible enough to allow end users to exercise their initiative to recall whatever information they require, in whatever format is needed, in order to make the necessary decisions to successfully direct the day to day and long term efforts, in the most effective ways possible.

The implementation of world class manufacturing techniques requires re-thinking, not only of traditional information flows, but of how information elements are to be understood.

This two-day system overview begins with a one-day on-site pre-diagnosis. This will be used to develop an appropriate detailed session on what systems are required and how your current system is perceived by its users.
