Production Scheduling

Okay, you've made the plan. If you did well, the plan is already achievable, but likely needs tweaking and re-sequencing as you release to Production, If not you'll need to do some major schedule work and likely make some compromises - unhappy customers and customer service, unhappy shopfloor, unhappy vendors, and unhappy finance (costs and working capital). This session provides insight on the scheduling process and also discusses how to improve planning to make scheduling easier and less costly.
