How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Primavera P6, advanced Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for calculating a vessel's MRP requirements, designing a component traceability system and evaluating suppliers. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Analyse material planning in a shipyard.
Apply MRP and MRP II logic.
Integrate material planning with the project schedule.
Manage procurement and critical suppliers.
Implement component traceability from order to delivery.
Where this takes you
