APICS Michiana Presents -
Help !! My Master Schedule is Killing Me
Date: Tuesday, October 10, 2000
Barry E. Blood, CPIM
Most of the problems of manufacturing are associated with the EXECUTION of the Master Schedule, NOT the planning of it. This presentation will uncover a new way of providing ‘visibility’ to the execution side of the manufacturing equation, one that is useable at every level of the organization. An exciting, NEW technique, that any user of an ERP or MRP system can employ.

Attendees will learn;
1. How to make better use of their ERP or MRP output.
2. How to improve and measure the performance of the factory.
3. How to gain better ‘visibility’ of the Master Schedule.

This presentation is a ‘must see’ for Supervisors, Managers, Directors, VP of Operations. and Plant Managers.

Barry E. Blood, CPIM, Mgr. of Mfg. Honeywell, Inc.(Retired), has been associated with the manufacturing industry since 1962, as a practitioner, a manager and a trainer. The first thirty years of his career were spent at Honeywell, Inc., Avionics Division in Clearwater, Florida. During the latter years of his career at Honeywell, while serving in the position of Manager of Manufacturing, Barry developed a new concept for controlling the production process, and improving the effectiveness of (any) MRP system. In 1992, Barry took early retirement from Honeywell and since then has been helping companies across the country implement this exciting new concept.

Barry is a frequent speaker at professional meetings, and has been speaking at APICS chapter meetings and Conferences since 1980. In 1989 he was privileged to speak at the World Congress for Manufacturing Excellence, in Amsterdam, Holland. , was the ‘98-’99 President of the Florida West Coast Chapter of APICS. He lives with his wife Chris, in ‘sunny’ Clearwater, Florida.

Good news Update!
Dr. Novotny has informed us that Dr. Eli Goldratt’s new book, Necessary But Not Sufficient will be available and distributed at the Tuesday, October 17th Theory of Constraints seminar to be held at Windsor Park Conference Center.
Because a significant amount of time was spent in reviewing the rough draft with Eli Goldratt, Donn felt his presentation should be expanded to discuss the essence of the
book and the critical implications to the performance of the supply chain.
As such, increased emphasis will be placed on showing how the TOC approach can be used to review the role, contribution, and grave mistakes occurring in the computer technology from MRP to E-business. The discussions will provide insight as to why the tsunami wave cure of e-commerce, business-to-business (B2B), etc. may be worse than the diseases faced by industry today.
