Production Planning, Control, and Monitoring for Employees in Logistics

Course overview

The course "Masterclass: Production Planning, Control, and Monitoring for Employees in Logistics" provides in-depth and practical knowledge on the planning, control, and monitoring of production processes, with a special focus on logistical interfaces. It is aimed at employees in logistics, scheduling, production logistics, as well as professionals in related fields who coordinate, monitor, or analyze production and logistics processes. The goal of the course is to develop an integrated understanding of the interplay between production and logistics. At the beginning, the fundamentals of production planning in the logistical context are explained. Participants learn how production programs, scheduling, capacities, and resources are planned and what impact these decisions have on logistical processes. It is shown how production planning acts as a link between demand, material supply, and manufacturing. A central focus is on production control in connection with logistical processes. Participants deal with the control of ongoing production orders, sequencing planning, and the coordination of material flows. Topics such as lead times, bottleneck management, and responses to disruptions are treated in a practical manner to make the importance of coordinated production and logistics control understandable. Furthermore, the course addresses production monitoring. Participants learn how production processes are monitored and evaluated, and what role target-actual comparisons, key figures, and feedback from production play. Production monitoring is positioned as a tool for transparency, quality assurance, and continuous improvement of production and logistics processes. Another course content is the interface between production and logistics. Participants gain an understanding of how materials management, storage, transport, and production planning interconnect. The importance of coordinated information flows and clear processes between logistics and production is particularly emphasized. Additionally, organizational and process-related aspects are addressed. Participants engage with the collaboration between logistics, work preparation, purchasing, and production. The role of clear responsibilities, standardized processes, and transparent communication for efficient production and logistics control is explained in a practical manner. In conclusion, the Masterclass imparts a coherent and in-depth understanding of production planning, control, and monitoring in the logistical environment. Participants connect knowledge from production and logistics and are able to plan, control, and monitor production processes in conjunction with logistical requirements appropriately. The course thus provides a solid foundation for more demanding tasks in production logistics and related fields.
