CPIM Review Series
This is a brief outline of the content of each
of the five review courses associated with the CPIM program. Sessions are
3 hours
BASICS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (11 weeks)
This is an introductory course for production and inventory management
personnel and CPIM candidates. This course provides the basic definitions
and concepts for planning and controlling the flow of materials into,
through, and out of an organization. It explains fundamental relationships
among the activities that occur in the supply chain from suppliers to
customers. In addition, the course addresses types of manufacturing
systems, forecasting, master planning, material requirements planning,
capacity management, production activity control, purchasing, inventory
management, distribution, quality management, and Just-in-Time
manufacturing.
Business Concepts: elements of the supply chain; operating environments;
financial fundamentals;
MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning) and JIT (Just In Time)
TQM (Total Quality Management) and relationships among MRP II, JIT & TQM
Demand Planning: marketplace-driven; customer expectations, and definition
of value
Customer relationships and demand management
Transformation of demand into supply: design and capacity management;
Planning and execution & control
Performance Measurements
Supply: Inventory and Purchasing
Physical distribution system
Master Planning of Resources focuses on developing and validating a
plan of supply, relating management of demand to environment and
developing and validating the master schedule. In addition, it encompasses
transforming sales, marketing and business concepts for requirements into
a feasible and economic operations plan in various business environments.
It also addresses concepts and methodologies for managing projected and
actual demands form distribution networks and external customers. Lastly,
the course present methods for integrating sales and operation plans
demand forecasts and customer demand into a specific master schedule.
There are 3 key areas
1. Developing and validating a sales plans
2. Identifying and accessing internal & external demand & forecasting
requirements
3. Effecting an achievable master schedule consistent with business
policies, objectives & resource constraints
This course focuses on material and capacity scheduling and planning.
It includes a detailed explanation of material requirements planning (MRP),
a technique suitable for use in job shops. The course also introduces
another material planning technique, material-dominated scheduling, which
is applicable to process industries and other mature production
environments. The course explains capacity requirements planning in detail
and introduces other capacity-planning techniques, including
processor-dominated scheduling.
Planning material requirements for the master schedule; inventory
techniques
Information used in material planning; characteristics of the detailed
material planning process
Mechanics of the material planning process
Maintaining the validity of the material plan; interaction with other
systems (closing the loop);
Planning operations to support the priority plan: detailed capacity
planning
Process Information used in capacity planning; desirable characteristics
of capacity planning
Uses of the capacity plan; measuring the performance of the capacity plan
Interactions with other systems
Planning procurement and external sources of supply; relationships with
suppliers
Techniques for supplier partnerships; implementing the new relationship
Execution & Control of Operations explains techniques for scheduling
and controlling production and process operations. It also addresses the
execution of quality initiatives and continuous improvement plans as well
as and control of the control and handling of inventories. Lastly, the ECO
presents techniques for evaluating performance and collecting data for
effective feedback. the 3 key areas are:
1. Prioritizing and sequencing work
2. Executing work plans, implementing controls and reporting activity
results
3. Evaluating and providing feedback on performance
In this course, students explore the relationship of existing and
emerging processes and technologies to manufacturing strategy and
supply-chain-related functions. The course addresses three main topics:
aligning resources with the strategic plan, configuring and integrating
operating processes to support the strategic plan, and implementing
change. For maximum comprehension of course content, students should be
familiar with the information and concepts presented in other CPIM modules
before taking this course. This is the 'capstone' course for the CPIM
Certification Series. Key areas include:
Strategic Planning Process
Competitive Market Issues
Choices affecting facilities, supply chain, information technology, and
organizational design
Configuring and integrating internal processes
Evaluating and managing projects.
