Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 996 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Production Planning and Scheduling improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 996 standard requirements:


1. How confident are you that successful planning for achieved competence and skill development and production of desired materials will add value to each subsequent hierarchical level?
   
   

2. Does the facility have a detection program, independent from production, which provides high assurance of detecting unauthorized production and unauthorized enrichment?
   
   

3. Has the industry found the optimum balance of capacity utilization, production efficiency, and customer satisfaction that maximizes profitability?
   
   

4. Does the schedule actually stay within the bounds of your blending constraints, or does it deliver material that is outside the specified blend?
   
   

5. How can macro economic trend information contained in industrial reports influence the demand planning process to improve production scheduling?
   
   

6. Is there a need for so many sales, production planning and distribution departments if moving to customer pull and highly reactive systems?
   
   

7. How are forecasting, aggregate planning, master scheduling, materials requirements planning, and operations control tied together?
   
   

8. How does the fundamental, vital processing look and what meaningful processing sequence should the production process follow?
   
   

9. Are there any plans to control or reduce predation during the operation of the hatchery until natural production takes over?
   
   

10. Are you planning on maintaining the production of the product, selling and marketing it yourself, or through distributors?
