This document discusses various aspects of product planning and control including product planning, need for product planning, product planning process, value analysis, concept of value and function, value analysis vs value engineering, process planning, machine capacity, and balancing machine processes. The key points are: 1) Product planning involves evaluating existing products, pricing, and specifying new product design and development. It aims to satisfy market and company objectives. 2) The product planning process includes initial market analysis, performance/feasibility studies, and advanced product planning to select and justify new product specifications. 3) Process planning converts product designs into manufacturing plans by determining operations, equipment, and processing times to produce product parts from raw materials to the finished state

1. PRODUCT PLANNING AND PRODUCT
CONTROL
UNIT - III

2. PRODUCT PLANNING
 Evaluation of range

 Pricing based on future market requirements
 Pricing to satisfy company objectives
 Specify the design and development support

3. PRODUCT PLANNING
 Product development not only for new
products
 It is also for existing products

4. NEED FOR PRODUCT
PLANNING
1. Need determined from current deficiencies
1. Wanted occurring in present condition
2. Need determined from anticipated
deficiencies
1. Need through prediction of social, technology etc.

5. PRODUCT PLANNING
PROCESS (8mark)
 Everyone wants a new product
 And every one make the product successful
STEPS:
1. Marketing and marketing analysis
2. Performance and feasibility studies
3. Advanced product planning

6. 1. Marketing and marketing analysis
 Marketing does not require the engineering
involvement

queries
 Product planned – to satisfy customer needs or not?
 Availability of proper technology to satisfy needs

7. 2. Performance and feasibility studies
 It is to extend the market analysis

 Achieving all functions at lower cost

11. CONCEPT OF VALUE AND FUNCTION
 DEFINITION OF VALUE:
value =-----------
 Difficult to define because, it changes person to person.
 TYPES OF ECONOMIC VALUE:
1. USE VALUE (Properties, qualities, features)
2. ESTEEM VALUE (appearance)
3. COST VALUE (sum of all cost)
4. EXCHANGE VALUE (Properties for exchange)
COST
FUNCTION

12. FUNCTION

TYPES OF FUNCTION:
 PRIMARY FUNCTION (Designed product function,
call function in phone)
 SECONDARY FUNCTION ( other than primary
function , mp3 player)
 TERITARY FUNCTION ( Esteem nature, torch in
mobile)

13. VALUE ANALYSIS vs VALUE
ENGINEERING
 Value analysis is a remedial process
 Value engineering is a preventive process
USES OF VALUE ANALYSIS:
 Reduce cost
 Better fashion
 New ideas and concepts
 employees with new innovative ideas
 Fulfill customer needs

14. REASON FOR UNNECESSARY
COST
1. Poor Design
2. Lack of ideas
3. Lack of standardisation
4. Un avoidable delivery constrains
5. Poor production planning

15. STEPS IN VALUE ANALYSIS (16 mark)
1. BLAST

2. Collect relevant information(information in
manufacturing, engineering, economics)
3. Define different functions ( Functions setting)
2. CREATE
1. Create different alternatives
2. Critically evaluate alternatives
3. REFINE
1. Develop the best alternative
2. Implement the alternative

16. PHASES OF VALUE ANALYSIS (16 mark)
1. ORIENTATION PHASE (data collection)
2. INFORMATION PHASE(Identify facts)
3. FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS(basic function)
4. CREATIVE PHASE( rearrange the information)
5. EVALUATION PHASE(create various alternatives)
6. DEVELOPMENT PHASE (alternatives for
technical requirement)
1. RECOMMENDATION PHASE(decision making)
2. IMPLEMENTATION PHASE(approval)
3. FOLLOW UP PHASE(compare with expectation)

17. PROCESS PLANNING (16 mark)
 Convert the product design in to manufacturing
plan
 Manufacture the products and parts
 Raw material in to finished state
 It is otherwise called as operations planning
PROCESS PLANNING vs PRODUCTION
PLANNING:
How to make the product (Process Planning)
To order raw materials obtaining resources to
require to make insufficient and demand to it
(production planning)

18. DETAILS OF PROCESS PLAN (8MARK)
 It contains:
 Route sheet
 Process
 Process parameters
 Machine and tools
1. Assembly and component drawings and boll of
materials
2. Machine and equipment details
3. Set up time for job
4. Availability of machine and equipment

19. Factors affecting process
planning
1. Volume of production
2. Skill and man power
3. Delivery dates for parts
4. Material specification
