Basics of Production Management in Two Days – TURBO
Principles and Tools for improving Production Management
The key objective of production management is to ensure customer satisfaction and to achieve this efficiently. The customer satisfaction is supported by good delivery performance such as delivery on time and short lead times, while for efficient production, inventory is minimized and capacity utilization optimized.
Turbo is a two-day production planning and control as well as production management training course. The course explores the production activities of a manufacturer from various angles: production / operations strategy, sales and operations planning, material and capacity planning as well as measuring and improving production.
In-class teaching on the course is followed by an individual report aimed at deepening the learnings during the course by applying it either to your own company or to an imaginary situation. Ideally, this work will lead to concrete development projects in the company. In addition to a course certificate and grade, participants will receive personal written feedback on their report.
Note that this program is held in Finnish.
