The British Academy for Training and Development offers this specialized training program in Manufacturing Planning and Production Control (MPPC), designed to equip participants with the practical knowledge and skills required to plan and optimize production operations, enhance operational efficiency, and achieve a balance between cost, quality, and productivity.

The program focuses on developing participants’ capabilities in designing production plans, scheduling resources, and analyzing industrial performance from both strategic and operational perspectives. It also covers modern concepts in production and manufacturing management, including continuous improvement applications, Lean Production, and integrated resource planning systems (MRP / ERP).

This program is designed to strengthen the competencies of executive and technical leaders in addressing production, supply, and operational challenges within dynamic industrial environments that require fast decision-making, precise planning, and flexible execution.
