Manufacturing organisations today operate in increasingly complex environments where efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness are critical to success. The Manufacturing Planning Using ERP and MRP Systems Training Course is designed to provide professionals with a structured and practical understanding of how Enterprise Resource Planning systems and Material Requirements Planning tools support effective manufacturing planning. This course explains how ERP integration and MRP planning work together to align production schedules, inventory levels, procurement activities, and capacity planning within a single, coordinated system. Participants will explore how manufacturing data flows across departments and how planning automation improves consistency, visibility, and decision-making accuracy.
Delivered by Imperial Corporate Training Institute. This training course takes a system-oriented approach to manufacturing planning, focusing on how ERP and MRP systems enhance production control and operational reliability. Participants will learn how accurate master data, bills of materials, routing information, and demand inputs drive reliable planning outputs. The course also examines common system implementation challenges and highlights best practices for maintaining data accuracy and system discipline. By the end of the programme, learners will be able to use ERP-enabled planning tools to support stable production plans, reduce disruptions, and improve overall manufacturing performance.
