Course Introduction When you schedule production in your company, do you depend on human experience and intuition? The human brain excels in its intelligence and flexibility, but does production scheduling that depends on human experience and intuition really make the mark? Can you always be sure to have an “expert” of superb experience and intuition at your disposal? A good production planning and scheduling system can reap great productivity gains and operational advantages for a company in the form of a reduction in production costs, higher utilization rate of resources and an increase in meeting committed delivery dates to customers. By learning and implementing an advanced planning, scheduling and integrating tracking technology, production planners will be able to create realistic operational plans and resource schedules that tell the stakeholders what to do and when to do it in an optimal way. About the Programme To start companies on their digitalization journey and equip them with the knowledge on advanced planning and scheduling (APS), this course aims to equip participants with the essential understanding of Production Planning and Scheduling, by providing practical sessions such as hands-on modelling of the participants’ existing planning & scheduling practices into SIMTech’s Smart Manufacturing Operations Management (S-MOM) software. Participants get to gain knowledge and skills to: • Understand the detailed functional components of a Production Planning & Scheduling model • Perform hands-on modelling of the participant’s current factory model using SIMTech’s S-MOM software • Adopt best practices for production planning & scheduling through model refinement • Analyse the generated production schedule and perform ‘What-If’ analysis Who Should Attend The course is recommended for production supervisor, industrial engineering engineer, production engineer, planners, schedulers, production managers, production control managers, and other professionals involved in production planning & scheduling activities in discrete manufacturing industries such as precision engineering, electronics, aerospace and automotive etc.

Course Outline Skills Course Reference Number: CRS-N-0051806 (Total: 24 training hours) The programme is delivered through immersive learning where participants are introduced to S-MOM software and gain new understanding on the concept of planning and scheduling with the latest industry practices. There will be technical demonstration of the software during the practice sessions for participants to learn its technology features. Participants have the opportunity to use their own data to model during the hands-on coaching sessions.
