The document discusses production planning and control (PPC) as a systematic approach to organizing and managing manufacturing processes to ensure optimal resource use, quality, and timely delivery of products. It outlines the stages of PPC, including planning, operations, and control, as well as its objectives and functions at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Additionally, it highlights the benefits and limitations of PPC, emphasizing its role in enhancing efficiency and profitability while addressing challenges such as demand forecasting and resistance to changes.

2. Production planning and control is the organization
and planning of the manufacturing process.
It co-ordinates supply and movement of materials and
labor, ensures economic and balanced utilization of
machines and equipment as well as other activities
related with production to achieve the desired
manufacturing results in terms of quantity, quality,
time and place.
INTRODUCTION

3. What is Production planning?
Production planning is
the planning of production and manufacturing modules in
a company or industry. It utilizes theresource allocation of
activities of employees, materials and production capacity,
in order to serve different customers.
What is Production control?
Production control is the activity of monitoring and
controlling any particular production or operation.
Production control is often run from a specific control
room or operations room.

4. THREE STAGES IN PPC
• Planning : The choice from several alternatives of the
best utilizing the available resources to achieve the
desired objective .
• Operations: Performance in accordance with details set
out in production plan.
• Control: The monitoring of performance through a feed
back by comparing the results achieved with planned
targets so that performance can be improved. .

5. • To deliver goods in required quantities to customers in
required delivery schedule.ion
• To ensure maximum utilization of all resources
• To ensure production quality products
• To minimize the product throughput time
• To maintain optimum level inventory
• To maintain flexibility in manufacturing operations
• Coordinate between labour and machines and various
supporting departments
OBJECTIVE OF PPC

6. • Routing
• Estimating
• Scheduling
• Loading
• Dispatching
• Expediting
• Evaluating
• Inventory Control
Functions of PPC

7. • Strategic Planning(Long range): It is process of thinking
though the organizations current mission and environment and
setting a guide for future decisions and results. e.g.
Technology forecasting and choice of appropriate technology
for the long range time horizon.
• Tactical Planning(Intermediate Range): It is done over an
intermediate term or medium range time horizon by middle
level management. These plans focus on aggregate products
rather than individual products.
• Operational Planning(Short Range ): It is done over a short
range time span developed by junior level management. It is
concern with utilization of existing facilities rather than
creation of new facilities.
Levels of PPC

8. • PPC coordinates all the phases of production /
Operating system
• An efficient plan results in higher quality ,better
utilization of resources, reduced inventories, better
customer services.
• An efficient plan enable the firm to improve its sales
turnover , market share and profitability.
Benefits of PPC

9. • PPC function is based on certain assumptions or forecasts of
customer’s demand, Plant capacity, availability of materials
etc
• Employee may resist change in production levels set as per
production plans.
• This process is time consuming when we need to carry out
routing and scheduling function for large products.
• This function become difficult when environmental factors
changes rapidly.
Limitations of PPC
