Synopsis : MANUFACTURING CONTROL provides knowledge about basic principles and
concept on managing an organization and major levels in manufacturing planning and
control system (MPC) which will help students in making forecast, production plan,
control production and manage inventory. This course also gives knowledge about
production scheduling. It also includes knowledge in managing MRP system (material
management), production scheduling and inventory management
