Course section 5.7: Subsections and their intended learning outcomes

5.7 Scenarios and Exercises
Intended learning outcomes: Disclose master scheduling for product variants. Calculate the quantity available-to-promise (ATP). Examine an example of the theory of constraints. Elaborate the master planning case.
5.7.1 Exercise: Master Scheduling and Product Variants
Intended learning outcomes: Determine the degree of overplanning of the number of variants in in the master production schedule (MPS).
5.7.2 Exercise: Available-to-Promise (ATP)
Intended learning outcomes: Calculate the quantity available-to-promise (ATP), whereupon the master production schedule as well as a list of customers’ orders that have already been promised are given.
5.7.3 Exercise: Theory of Constraints
Intended learning outcomes: Explain an example of the theory of constraints, whereupon you produce two products, which use the machine capacity of three machines with a certain load. Identify and speed up the bottleneck.

5.7.4 Scenario: Master Planning Case — Introduction and Sales Plan
Intended learning outcomes: Present the case study — company and products, as well as the sales plan.
5.7.4b Scenario: Master Planning Case — Production Plan and Inventory Plan
Intended learning outcomes: Work out and explain various variants of the production plan and inventory plan on the basis of a long-term sales plan of a company in the wood industry.
5.7.4c Scenario: Master Planning Case — Procurement Plan and Animated Solution
Intended learning outcomes: Work out and explain the resulting procurement plan, on the basis of a long-term sales plan of a company in the wood industry. Enjoy the Animated Solution.

Course 5: Sections and their intended learning outcomes

Intended learning outcomes: Disclose business processes and tasks in planning & control. Explain in detail master planning or long-term planning, Describe detailed planning and execution.
5.1 Business Processes and Tasks in Planning & Control
Intended learning outcomes: Describe the MRP II concept and its planning hierarchy. Explain the part processes and tasks in long-term, medium-term planning as well as in short-term planning & control. Present the reference model of processes and tasks in planning & control. Produce an overview beyond MRP II: DRP II, integrated resource management, and the “theory of constraints”.
