PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL
Presented by : YASH & HARSH SALUJA
INTRODUCTION
Production planning and controlling is a vital process in manufacturing that
involves organizing and managing production activities to ensure efficiency,
quality , and timely delivery of product . It includes forecasting demand ,
scheduling production , allocating resources , and monitoring the production
process to make necessary adjustment. By efficiently planning and controlling
production , companies can optimize resources use, reduce costs, and enhance
customer satisfaction .
PRODUCTION PLANNING
Production planning refers to the process by which a company determines how and when it will
produce its products like :
• What to make : Deciding which product to produce based on customer demand
• How much to make: To find quantity of product demanded by customer.
• When to make: Make schedule when to start production .
• Resource management: Ensure that necessary material , machine, worker available for
production .
• Efficiency : Aiming to produce goods in the best way possible , saving time and reducing waste.
PRODUCTION CONTROL
Production control refers to the process of monitoring and managing the
production process . It ensures that everything is proceeding according to the
production plan including time , quality , and cost . The aim is to keep
production running smoothly , quickly resolve any issues , and enhancing
efficiency .
OBJECTIVES OF PRODUCTION
PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Efficiency improvement: To plan production processes in a way that
optimum resource used and minimum waste.
• Cost reduction : To control production cost ,including material , labour ,
overheads to maximize profit .
• Quality assurance : To ensure the production of high - quality products that
meet established quality standards.
• Inventory management : to efficiently manage inventory levels to avoid
stockout or excess inventory .
NEED OF PRODUCTION PLANNING
AND CONTROL
• Resource utilization : It ensures that all resources , such as manpower , machines ,
materials are used efficiently , allowing production process to run smoothly .
• Cost management : It helps in controlling production costs, which can increase
overall profitability.
• Market demand: By understanding market demand, production planning ensures
that customer needs are met on time.
• Risk reduction : production planning and control help identify and manage risks,
preventing disruption in the production process
ELEMENTS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING
AND CONTROL
• Forecasting : This involves estimating market demand to understand production
requirements.
• Capacity planning : This assesses the available resources (like machine and
workforce) to determine if they can meet the expected demand.
• Inventory management: This involves managing the inventory of raw materials,
work in progress and finished goods to prevent disruption in the production
process.
• Monitoring and control: This involve continuously tracking the production process
& making adjustments as needed to achieve production goals.
KEY FUNCTION OF PRODUCTION
PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Performance monitoring : Tracking the efficiency and effectiveness of the
production process to identify area for improvement .
• Production scheduling : Creating a timetable for production activities to
ensure that deadline are met and operation run smooth production process .
• Quality assurance: Maintaining quality standards throughout the production
process to ensure that the products met the required specification .
• Demand management : understanding customer demand and plnning
production accordingly to meet that demand.
CHALLENGES OF PRODUCTION
PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Technological changes: keeping up with technological advancement and
integrated new technologies into existing processes can be challenging .
• Supply chain disrupted : delays in supply chain can affect the availability of
necessary input for production .
• Changing market condition : rapid changes in market trends or consumer
preference can required quick adjustments to production plan.
• Resource constraints : ltd availability of resources such as materials ,
machinery , skilled labour can hinder effective production planning .
STEPS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING
AND CNTROL
• Feedback loop for continuous improvement : after production , analyze
performance data and gather feedback from the team.
• Regular quality control check: implement quality control measure throughout
the production process to ensure that products met required standard.
• Real – time monitoring : use technology and software for real time tracking
of production progress.
• Implementation of lean principles : incorporate lean manufacturing principle
to minimize waste and improve efficiency .
