Manufacturing Management Program to Offer 12-Week Planning Course

A 12-week course in a series of classes designed for manufacturing professionals will be offered this fall by the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT) and the San Fernando Valley Chapter of APICS.

The course, Fundamentals of Planning, will meet once a week for three hours beginning Sept. 18. Participants will learn the principles of strategic and tactical planning, and how to work together as a team to solve problems and develop solutions.

“Through this course, participants will learn the essential ingredients of effective planning and have an opportunity to practice and enhance their own skills,” said Peter Bellas, director of the college’s Center for Applied Competitive Technologies.

The course is part of the four-module Fundamentals of Materials and Operations Management program, which was created to teach the fundamentals of inventory control, planning, manufacturing control and operations management.
