2. PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT:
I. Production management also called operations
management planning and control of industrial process
to ensure the required level techniques of production
management are employed in service as well as in
manufacturing industries.

3. PRODUCTION PLANNING:
I. Production planning is the act of developing a guide
for the design and production of a given product or
service .
II. Production planning helps organization make the
production process as efficient as possible.

4. PRODUCTION CONTROL
I. Production control is the activity
monitoring and controlling any particular
production or operation .
II. Production control is the often run from a
specific control room or operations room.

5. IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING & CONTROL:
I. Planning and control are an essential ingredient for
success of an operation unit .
II. The benefits of production planning and control
III. It ensures that optimum utilization of production
capacity is achieved .
IV. Proper scheduling of the machine items which
reduces the idle time as well as over.

6. OBJECTIVES OF PRODUCTION PLANNING&CONTROL:
1. To ensure safe and economical production process
2. To effectively utilize plant to maximize
productivity .
3. To maximize efficiency by proper coordination in
production process
4. To ensure proper delivery of goods
5. To place the right man for the right job at right
time right wages
6. To minimize labor turnover
7. To reduce waiting time

7. CHARACTERSTICS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING & CONTROL:
It is the planning and control of manufacturing process
is an enterprise .
All types of inputs like materials ,men ,machine used
for maintaining efficiency of manufacturing process .
Various factors of production are integrated to use
them efficiently and economically.
The work is regulated from the first stage of procuring
raw materials to the stage of finished goods.

8. ELEMENTS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING & CONTROL:
I. Routing
II. Loading
III.Scheduling
IV.Dispatching
V. Follow up
VI.Inspection
VII.corrective

9. ROUTING :
It is about selection of path or route through which
raw materials pass in order to make it into finished
production.
The points to be noted while routing process are
full capacity of machines .economical and short
route setting up time for the process for each stage
of route.

10. LOADING AND SCHEDULIMG:
Loading and scheduling are concerned
with preparation of workloads and
fixing of starting and completing date
of each operation .

11. DISPATCHING:
Dispatching is the route setting productive
activities motion through the release orders
and instructions in accordance with
previously planned time and sequence
embodied in route sheet and scheduled
here the orders are released.

12. EXPEDITING/FOLLOW UP
It is a control is brings an idea on breaking u
delay rectifying error etc. during the progress
of work..

13. INSPECTION::
Inspection is to find out the quality of executed
work process.
CORRECTIVE:
 At evaluation process a through analysis is
done and corrective measures are taken in the
Weaker spots.

14. STAGES OF PRODUCTION:
1. PRE-PLANNING
2. PLANNING
3. CONTROL

15. CONCLUSION:
 Production planning and control deals with
vast amount of information as input or output
to various departments within organisation
,it provides information of manufacturing
resources to marketing department.
