2. Planning Thoughts

• The success of a planning and scheduling program can be severely hampered by managers without technical knowledge of planning, scheduling, or the software used. Programs require a solid understanding of the principles, functionalities, and potential challenges to be effectively managed. Organizations can foster planning excellence by training management personnel or ensuring they have the right technical skills. If you notice a severe lack of knowledge and skill in management and you cannot become a leader, you'll want to find another job (BTW there's 3 below 👇).

• After intermediate and advanced planning skills the number one skill to add is communication. Can you present to a group of 30? Could you create a training used by over a hundred people? Can you act as the face of a business unit? Could you be interviewed by the news?
