Optimise your manufacturing operations with this comprehensive self-assessment on Production Scheduling in Lean Practices, designed for operations leaders, supply chain managers, and continuous improvement professionals driving efficiency in complex, mixed-model environments. This programme delivers actionable insights to transform how your organisation plans, sequences, and executes production—aligning lean principles with real-world operational demands.

You’ll gain practical frameworks to:

  • Analyse demand stability and process variability to determine optimal push vs. pull scheduling strategies
  • Calculate and adjust takt time using real customer demand data, factoring in shift patterns and planned downtime
  • Map value streams to pinpoint scheduling bottlenecks and eliminate non-value-added wait times across work cells
  • Integrate SMED outcomes into cycle time planning for accurate, sustainable production pacing
  • Design heijunka-based schedules that level volume and product mix, reducing changeovers and stabilising workflow
  • Implement dynamic kanban systems with scientifically sized containers and card counts based on consumption, changeover cost, and storage limits
  • Align ERP systems and procurement cycles with pull-based production to minimise overproduction and WIP accumulation

Learn how to maintain flow during supplier delays, manage rush orders without disruption, and reconcile forecast-driven purchasing with lean execution. This self-assessment equips you to build resilient, responsive scheduling systems that enhance on-time delivery, resource utilisation, and operational agility across global supply networks.
