MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Define the scope and benefits of the supply chain management approach to the control and flow of materials from the supplier through production and distribution to the consumer. (I) 2. Explain the differences between Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Closed-Loop MRP, and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRPII). (II) 3. Compare and contrast a make-to-stock, make-to-order, and an assemble-to-order environment and their impact on the master production scheduling function. (III) 4. Define the objectives, requirements, and process of materials requirements planning. (IV) 5. Describe the differences between resource planning, rough-cut capacity planning, capacity requirements planning, and capacity (input/output) control. (V, VI) 6. Explain the purchasing functions and processes including their relationship with other business functions. (VII, VIII) 7. Define inventory management and inventory control including the objectives and elements of each. (IX) 8. Compare and contrast the differences between the order point, periodic review, and material requirements planning ordering systems. (X, XI) 9. Explain the important interfaces between physical distribution, marketing, and production. (XII, XIII) 10. List the elements of just-in-time and how it can fit within the traditional production and inventory control. (XIV)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
