Course section 5.1: Subsections and their intended learning outcomes

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”.
5.1.1 The MRP II Concept and Its Planning Hierarchy
Intended learning outcomes: Explain the business processes in logistics and operations management of an enterprise, structured according to temporal range. Describe the different degrees of detail in planning. Disclose the aim of data management.
5.1.2 Part Processes and Tasks in Long-Term Planning
Intended learning outcomes: Present long-term planning, also called master planning. Differentiate between master planning and master scheduling. Produce an overview on bid processing, customer blanket order, sales and operations planning (SOP), (detailed) resource requirements planning, requests for quotations, and blanket order processing.
5.1.2b Part Processes and Tasks in Medium-Term Planning
Intended learning outcomes: Disclose medium-term planning & control, also called detailed planning and scheduling. Produce an overview on detailed resource requirements planning, and order proposal.

5.1.3 Part Processes and Tasks in Short-Term Planning & Control
Intended learning outcomes: Present in detail short-term planning & control, also called execution and control of operations. Produce an overview on order release, order coordination, order monitoring and order checking, delivery, job-order costing, and billing.
5.1.4 Priority Planning: Manufacturing Planning & Control Processes Within the Temporal Ranges in the MRP II Concept.
Intended learning outcomes: Explain the manufacturing planning & control processes and priority planning within the temporal ranges in the MRP II concept.
5.1.4b Processes and Tasks in Planning & Control: A Reference Model for the MRP II Concept
Intended learning outcomes: Describe the reference model for MRP II of business processes and tasks in planning & control. Differentiate between materials management, time management and scheduling, and capacity management. Produce an overview on inventory management and control, and master data.
5.1.5 Beyond MRP II: Distribution Resource Planning (DRP II) and Integrated Resource Management
Intended learning outcomes: Produce an overview on distribution planning, distribution inventory, and distribution resource planning (DRP II). Disclose the concept of (integrated) resource management.

5.1.5b Beyond MRP II: The “Theory of Constraints”
Intended learning outcomes: Explain bottleneck capacity as well as the five focusing steps in the theory of constraints (TOC) approach.
