MRP "Boot Camp" Workshop
Here's what attendees had to say about our MRP Boot Camp Workshop:

“I did enjoy your class, thank you very much. I was wondering if you would be available to give a similar class to more people from my organization.”
"I also would like to say that your class really gave me a lot of insight on how MRP works. Your class gave real life examples and in laymen terms. I knew absolutely nothing about MRP entering your class and left really feeling that I learned something."
“Thank you for the great overview session.”

We’ve had countless requests for a one-day MRP introduction workshop and here it is. In this workshop you’ll gain a solid understanding of the mechanics of MRP and its relationship to other manufacturing processes and organizations. Attendees will receive an understanding of production planning, master production scheduling, inventory management, purchasing, shop floor control and MRP. This workshop is intended for material planners, production control, inventory planners, management, team leaders, purchasing and shop supervisors.

Presented by Gene Brockmeier, this highly educational (and entertaining!) workshop is based on Gene's 30 years of in-depth MRP experience and provides attendees with a solid understanding of the business, software and data management processes which support accurate material planning. In-class exercises will provide a detailed understanding of the mechanics of MRP and the relationship with support activities. The workshop also includes a review of the software processes and decisions which support MRP. We'll also cover critical the day to day activities needed in an MRP environment. We’ll also cover Bills of Materials (BOM's), data conversion and the affects of lot sizes, order quantity conversions and order multiples.

Attendees will learn how to analyze the material planning process to identify and solve problems. You’ll learn how to select lot sizes and lot sizing methods to optimize inventory levels and reduce shortages and late deliveries. We’ll review the importance of lead times and the affect that queue time and setup time have on inventory and on-time shipments. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of company ERP systems and methods to improve operational performance.
