In two days you schedule your plant — confidently and fast.
infoBoard is new in your company, and the team should be able to use it, not just see it. In the workshop you build your own digital planning board, step by step. At the end you schedule real orders — at your own PC, with our guidance.
- 2 full days
- At your own PC
- Available online
- Materials included
Understanding software means having used it yourself.
A training session where you only watch is forgotten by the next day. That is why you work with the software yourself from the first minute of the infoBoard workshop. You try out every function directly on your own planning board.
At the end of the two days you have not just seen how infoBoard works. You have mapped your organization, scheduled orders and created reports — and you can start right away.
