Production planning is the process of determining the necessary resources for future operations, focusing on the acquisition, utilization, and allocation of production facilities, labor, and materials. It involves scheduling, inventory control, and ensuring quality while optimizing costs and productivity. The use of Just-In-Time (JIT) techniques helps minimize waste and improve efficiency in production processes.

1. PRODUCTION PLANNING AND
CONTROL

2. PRODUCTION PLANNING
According to Ray Wild, production planning is
defined as follows:
"Production Planning is concerned with the determination,
acquisition and arrangement of all facilities necessary for future
operations."

3. NEED FOR
PRODUCTION PLANNING AND
CONTROL
Addresses decisions on
Acquisition
Utilization
Allocation of limited
production resources
Resources include the production
facilities, labor and materials.
Constraints include the availability of resources,
delivery times for the products and management
policies.

4. • It should be based on accurate data
• It should be flexible
• It must satisfy one of the pre defined objective
• It must be simple and straight forward
• It must have a reporting system
• No weak links

10. STEPS INVOLVED IN PRODUCTION
PLANNING AND CONTROL

11. • Optimum utilization of capacity
• Inventory control
• Estimation of resources
• Removal of bottlenecks
• Uses production facility
• Economy in production time
• Keeps cost controlled
• Ensures quality
• Gives benefit to workers
• Provides benefit to customers
AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF PRODUCTION
PLANNING AND CONTROL

12. • Most important function
• Important feature of small scale industries
• Involves manufacturing process
• Production control is an adjusting process
• Provides corrective measures
• Regulates and stimulates the materials
FEATURES OF PRODUCTION PLANNING AND
CONTROL

13. • Steady production flow
• Maintain delivery schedules
• Resource estimation
• Ensures optimum inventory
• Minimization of wastages
• Improvement in labour productivity
• Low cost of operation
• Better work environment
• Team work
• Facilitates quality improvement
ADVANTAGES OF PRODUCTION PLANNING
AND CONTROL

14. • JIT is the technique for reducing inventories and
elimination of waste in the production system.
• Objectives
To eliminate waste
To improve quality
To minimize lead time
To reduce costs
To improve productivity
PRODUCTION CONTROL USING JIT

15. • Pull production and kanban
JIT is associated with pull systems.
Toyota was the first developer of kanban system.
• Examples
McDonalds'
Office Xerox Paper
