Introduction:

Production planning and control represents a core institutional function that structures how organizations balance demand capacity resources and operational stability. Its role centers on ensuring continuity of production flow cost discipline and delivery reliability within manufacturing and industrial systems. This training program covers structured planning frameworks, control models, data architectures and coordination mechanisms used in formal production environments. It provides a general institutional view of how production planning supports workforce alignment, operational governance, and organizational performance in line with HRD Corp competency based training expectations.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Analyze the institutional role of production planning and control within manufacturing systems.
Classify production planning horizons structures and control mechanisms.
Evaluate demand forecasting and capacity planning frameworks used in industrial environments.
Assess inventory and material flow control models supporting production stability.
Explore performance measurement and continuous workforce development structures aligned with HRD Corp standards.
