- describe the structure of manufacturing planning and control
- describe and apply the basic material and capacity control methods
- describe and apply the most common lot sizing methods
- describe the decoupling purposes for various types of inventories in the materials flow
- apply analyses of tied up capital, ABC analyses and analyses cost of total logistics
