 Strategic Planning.
 Action Planning.
 Tactical Planning.
 Operational Planning.
 Assumption-based Planning (ABP).
 Contingency Planning.
 Environmental assessment (EA) is the assessment of
the environmental consequences (positive and negative) of a
plan, policy, program, or actual projects prior to the decision
to move forward with the proposed action. In this context, the
term "environmental impact assessment" (EIA) is usually used
when applied to actual projects by individuals or companies
and the term "strategic environmental assessment" (SEA)
applies to policies, plans and programmes most often
proposed by organs of state.
 Environmental scanning is a process that systematically
surveys and interprets relevant data to identify external
opportunities and threats. An organization gathers
information about the external world, its competitors and
itself.
 PEST analysis
 PESTEL analysis (or PESTLE analysis).
 Budgeting is the process of setting revenue and expense targets
for a specified period of time, with the budget that results from
the process being used to plan and control the allocation of
resources. These resources include hiring people and spending
money on operating expenses, as well as capital investments.
 Linear programming (LP, also called linear optimization) is a
method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or
lowest cost) in a mathematical model whose requirements are
represented by linear relationships.
 LP is a mathematical modeling technique useful for the
allocation of “scarce or limited’’ resources such as labor,
material, machine ,time ,warehouse space ,etc…,to several
competing activities such as product ,service ,job, new
equipments, projects, etc...on the basis of a given criteria of
optimality
 The word linear means the relationship which can be represented
by a straight line .i.e the relation is of the form ax +by=c.
 In other words it is used to describe the relationship between two
or more variables which are proportional to each other
 The word “programming” is concerned with the optimal allocation
of limited resources.
 Linear programming is a way to handle certain types of
optimization problems.
 Linear programming is a mathematical method for determining a
way to achieve the best outcome
 A mathematical technique used to obtain an optimum
solution in resource allocation problems, such as production
planning.
 It is a mathematical model or technique for efficient and
effective utilization of limited recourses to achieve
organization objectives (Maximize profits or Minimize cost).
 When solving a problem using linear programming , the
program is put into a number of linear inequalities and then
an attempt is made to maximize (or minimize) the inputs
 Planning defines WHAT and HOW, while scheduling defines
WHEN and WHO.
 Scheduling is deciding when and by whom the job is done.
Operations and maintenance need to work in a close
partnership in order to achieve high scheduling performance
since maintenance scheduling is highly depending on
production scheduling.
 Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling and
optimizing work and workloads in a production process or
manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant
and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan
production processes and purchase materials.
