Study and Analysis of Production and Control

3.1 company profile

The Indian electrical equipment industry comprising of multinationals, large medium &
small players is fully geared up producing, supplying and exporting a wide variety of
electrical equipment including switchgear and control gear items needed by the expanding
industrial and power sector on which we focus in this article. This industry sector in fact
manufactures the entire voltage range from 240 V to 800 KV. 1200 kV equipment is under
indigenous development for the 1200Kv Test station . The current technology level in India
is Contemporary.

Currently, the MV & HV segments are suffering from overcapacity due to lack of orders.
Inadequate demand could be due to insufficient planning by the users and delay in
finalizing tenders. Unfortunately bunching of orders also creates supply-delivery problems,
Also L1 ( lowest quoted price) procurement system followed by all utilities i.e. procuring
products at lowest price creates a hurdle for bringing good quality material in the system.
Further insistence on repeated type testing of products in spite of inadequate type testing
laboratories poses additional delays and harm to the equipment.

The present size of the switchgear market estimated at about Rs.13,500crore and the
industry grew by 21 per cent in volume terms in FY13. Overall exports decreased by 15
per cent, whereas imports increased mainly for MV/HV switchgear by more than 50 per
cent. Weightage of switchgear industry based on IEEMA electrical industry Index is 15.2
per cent.

3.4 SWOT ANYLISIS OF SWITCHGEAR INDUSTRY

Strengths:
 Bizlink engineering –engine components industry in India is currently valued at
INR 135bn (~USD 2billion) in FY 2013 and has been growing at ~15% for the last
three years. It is been estimated that the industry will be worth approximately INR
215bn (~USD 3.5billion) by FY 2017, growing at a diminished CAGR of ~10%.
 Low voltage switchgears, which account for more than 55% of the total market, has
a higher share of unorganized players and it is anticipated to increase in the coming
years. The forward integration of these unorganized players to medium and high
voltage segments can lead to an increase in the unorganized market share in these
segments too, which is currently dominated by five or six players

Weaknesses
 industry has to largely depend on the financially weak EBs for its sales, The EBs
condition has increasingly worsened over the years.
 Uncertainty & slow pace of reforms
 Increasing Competition from unorganized sector and Chinese imports
 Macroeconomic challenges which constrain public & private funding and High
Interest rates
 Low investments in R&D, Lack of Innovation
 Integration/Assimilation of new technologies into development of new products in
the sector needs improvement
 L1 procurement system in utilities i.e. procuring products at lowest price creates a
hurdle for bringing good quality material in the system.

in LV segment and project imports.
 One sided contracts by the user industries/ Price Variation contracts not accepted
by many users
 Improper procurement planning/bunching of orders,
 Entry of unproven contractors/ sub-contractors with minimal technical knowledge.
 Lack of standard specification and design parameters clubbed with increasing trend
of customization is adversely impacting the delivery schedule as well as taking
away benefits of economies of scale.
 The new Clause of consequential damages which in short means an organization
supplying an equipment is not only responsible for the supply but also for the
damages arising out of the equipment.

Study and Analysis of Production and Control

15
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

4.1 INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC

Planning is the determinative phase of production management. It “figures out”


what is to be done. Production planning translates sales forecasts into master production
schedules, takes off material, personnel & equipment requirements & prepares detailed
area or department schedules. It also determines the maintaining of raw materials &
finished goods at proper levels. Also, it prepares alternative plans of action as a means of
meeting emergencies. Control balances production & inventories apart from the
determinative phase of planning. Production control supervises the execution of production
schedules so that work flows through the manufacturing departments on time & without
interruptions. Control also maintains raw material inventories at levels that neither tie-up
excessive amounts of working capital nor lead to shortages that interrupt production. At
the same time, finished goods inventories are regulated so that they neither become
excessive nor fall so low that they fail to meet demands & so cause back orders to
accumulate.

Production Planning and Control involve generally the organization and planning of
manufacturing process. Especially it consists of the planning of routing, scheduling,
dispatching inspection, and coordination, control of materials, methods machines, tools and
operating times. The ultimate objective is the organization of the supply and movement of
materials and labour, machines utilization and related activities, in order to bring about the
desired manufacturing results in terms of quality, quantity, time and place.

4.2 FUNCTIONS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL

Production Planning and Control (PPC) is a process that comprises the performance of
some critical; functions on either side, viz., planning as well as control.

16
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

4.1 PPC diagram


Production planning
Production planning may be defined as the technique of foreseeing every step in a long
series of separate operations, each step to be taken at the right time and in the right place
and each operation to be performed in maximum efficiency. It helps entrepreneur to work
out the quantity of material manpower, machine and money requires for producing
predetermined level of output in given period of time.
Routing
Under this, the operations, their path and sequence are established. To perform these
operations the proper class of machines and personnel required are also worked out. The
main aim of routing is to determine the best and cheapest sequence of operations and to
ensure that this sequence is strictly followed. In small enterprises, this job is usually done
by entrepreneur himself in a rather manner. Routing procedure involves following different
activities.

(1) An analysis of the article to determine what to make and what to buy.
(2) To determine the quality and type of material
(3) Determining the manufacturing operations and their sequence.
(4) A determination of lot sizes

17
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

Scheduling
It means working out of time that should be required to perform each operation and also
the time necessary to perform the entire series as routed, making allowances for all factors
concerned. It mainly concerns with time element and priorities of a job. The pattern of
scheduling differs from one job to another which is explained as below:

Production schedule: The main aim is to schedule that amount of work which can easily be
handled by plant and equipment without interference. It’s not independent decision as it
takes into account following factors.

(1) Physical plant facilities of the type required to process the material being scheduled.
(2) Personnel who possess the desired skills and experience to operate the equipment and
perform the type of work involved.
(3) Necessary materials and purchased parts.

Master Schedule: Scheduling usually starts with preparation of master schedule which is
weekly or monthly break-down of the production requirement for each product for a
definite time period, by having this as a running record of total production requirements
the entrepreneur is in better position to shift the production from one product to another as
per the changed production requirements. This forms a base for all subsequent scheduling
acclivities. A master schedule is followed by operator schedule which fixes total time
required to do a piece of work with a given machine or which shows the time required to
do each detailed operation of a given job with a given machine or process.
BIZLINKManufacturing schedule: It is prepared on the basis of type of manufacturing
process involved. It is very useful where single or few products are manufactured
repeatedly at regular intervals. Thus it would show the required quality of each product and
sequence in which the same to be operated

Scheduling of Job order manufacturing: Scheduling acquires greater importance in job


order manufacturing. This will enable the speedy execution of job at each center point.

18
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

As far as small scale industry is concerned scheduling is of utmost importance as it brings


out efficiency in the operations and s reduces cost price. The small entrepreneur should
maintain four types of schedules to have a close scrutiny of all stages namely an enquiry
schedule, a production schedule, a shop schedule and an arrears schedule out of above four,
a shop schedule is the most important most suited to the needs of small scale industry as it
enables a foreman to see at a glance.

1. The total load on any section


2. The operational sequence
3. The stage, which any job has reached.

Loading
The next step is the execution of the schedule plan as per the route chalked out it includes
the assignment of the work to the operators at their machines or work places. So loading
determines who will do the work as routing determines where and scheduling determines
when it shall be done. Gantt Charts are most commonly used in small industries in order to
determine the existing load and also to foresee how fast a job can be done. The usefulness
of their technique lies in the fact that they compare what has been done and what ought to
have been done.
Most of a small scale enterprise fails due to non-adherence to delivery schedules therefore
they can be successful if they have ability to meet delivery order in time which no doubt
depends upon production of quality goods in right time. It makes all the more important
for entrepreneur to judge ahead of time what should be done, where and when thus to leave
nothing to chance once the work has begun.

Production control
Production control is the process of planning production in advance of operations,
establishing the extract route of each individual item part\ or assembly, setting, starting and
finishing for each important item, assembly or the finishing production and releasing the
necessary orders as well as initiating the necessary follow-up to have the smooth function
of the enterprise. The production control is of complicated nature in small industries. The

19
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

production planning and control department can function at its best in small scale unit only
when the work manager, the purchase manager, the personnel manager and the financial
controller assist in planning production activities. The production controller directly
reports to the works manager but in small scale unit, all the three functions namely material
control, planning and control are often performed by the entrepreneur himself production
control starts with dispatching and ends up with corrective actions.

Dispatching
Dispatching involves issue of production orders for starting the operations. Necessary
authority and conformation is given for:

1. Movement of materials to different workstations.


2. Movement of tools and fixtures necessary for each operation.
3. Beginning of work on each operation.
4. Recording of time and cost involved in each operation.
5. Movement of work from one operation to another in accordance with the route sheet.
6. Inspecting or supervision of work

Dispatching is an important step as it translates production plans into production.

Follow up

Every production programmer involves determination of the progress of work, removing


bottlenecks in the flow of work and ensuring that the productive operations are taking place
in accordance with the plans. It spots delays or deviations from the production plans. It
helps to reveal detects in routing and scheduling, misunderstanding of orders and
instruction, under loading or overloading of work etc. All problems or deviations are
investigated and remedial measures are undertaken to ensure the completion of work by
the planned date.

Inspection:

20
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

This is mainly to ensure the quality of goods. It can be required as effective agency of
production control.

Corrective measures

Corrective action may involve any of those activities of adjusting the route, rescheduling
of work changing the workloads, repairs and maintenance of machinery or equipment,
control over inventories of the cause of deviation is the poor performance of the employees.
Certain personnel decisions like training, transfer, demotion etc. may have to be taken.
Alternate methods may be suggested to handle peak loads.

4.3 FACTORS AFFECTING PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL


Following factors need to be considered before making a choice of manufacturing process.

Effect of volume/variety:
This is one of the major considerations in selection of manufacturing process. When the
volume is low and variety is high, intermittent process is most suitable and with increase
in volume and reduction in variety continuous process become suitable. The following
figure indicates the choice of process as a function of repetitiveness. Degree of
repetitiveness is determined by dividing volume of goods by variety.

Capacity of the plant:


Projected sales volume is the key factor to make a choice between batch and line process.
In case of line process, fixed costs are substantially higher than variable costs. The reverse
is true for batch process thus at low volume it would be cheaper to install and maintain a
batch process and line process becomes economical at higher volumes.

Lead time:

21
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

The continuous process normally yields faster deliveries as compared to batch process.
Therefore lead-time and level of competition certainly influence the choice of production
process.

Flexibility and Efficiency:


The manufacturing process needs to be flexible enough to adapt contemplated changes
and volume of production should be large enough to lower costs.

Hence it is very important for entrepreneur to consider all above mentioned factors before
taking a decision regarding the type of manufacturing process to be adopted as for as SSI
are concerned they usually adopt batch processes due to low investment.
.
3.4 BENEFITS TO ORGANIZATION

Production planning and control can facilitate the small entrepreneur in the following ways:

Optimum Utilization of Capacity:


With the help of Production Planning and Control [PPC] the entrepreneur can schedule his
tasks and production runs and thereby ensure that his productive capacity does not remain
idle and there is no undue queuing up of tasks via proper allocation of tasks to the
production facilities. No order goes unattended and no machine remains idle.

Inventory control:
Proper PPC will help the entrepreneur to resort to just- in- time systems and thereby reduce
the overall inventory. It will enable him to ensure that the right supplies are available at the
right time.

Economy in production time:


PPC will help the entrepreneur to reduce the cycle time and increase the turnover via proper
scheduling.

22
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

Ensure quality:
A good PPC will provide for adherence to the quality standards so that quality of output is
ensured.

To sum up we may say that PPC is of immense value to the entrepreneur incapacity
utilization and inventory control. More importantly it improves his response time and
quality. As such effective PPC contributes to time, quality and cost parameters of
entrepreneurial success.

6.1 WHAT IS RESEARCH?

Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Once can also define
research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.
In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. The Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of
Current English lays down the meaning of research as “a careful investigation or inquiry
especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.”

The term ‘Research’ consists of two words:


Research = Re + Search
‘Re’ means again and again and ‘Search’ means to find out something, the following is the
process:
Observers Collection of data
Person Phenomena Conclusions
Again & Again Analysis of data

Actually research is simply the process of arriving as dependable solution to a problem


through the planned and systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of data. Research
is the most important process for advancing knowledge for promoting progress and to
enable man to relate more effectively to his environment to accomplish his purpose and to
resolve his conflicts. Although it is not the only way, it is one of the more effective ways
of solving scientific problems.

6.2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY


Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the problem. It may be understood
has a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various
steps that all generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with
the logic behind them.
The scope of research methodology is wider than that of research method. Thus when we
talk of research methodology we not only talk of research methods but also consider the

33
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

logic behind the method we use in the context of our research study and explain why we
are using a particular method.

So we should consider the following steps in research methodology:


 Problem statement
 Objective of study
 Research design
 Data collection
 Sample design
 Statistical tool
 Limitation of study

6.3 RESEACH DESIGN

The research problem having been formulated in clear cut terms, the researcher will be
required to prepare a research design, i.e., he will have to state the conceptual structure
within which research would be conducted. The preparation of such a design facilitates
research to be as efficient as possible yielding maximal information. In other words, the
function of research design is to provide for the collection of relevant evidence with
minimal expenditure of effort, time and money. But how all these can be achieved depends
mainly on the research purpose. Research purposes may be grouped into four categories,
viz., (i) Exploration, (ii) Description,
(iii) Diagnosis, and (iv) Experimentation. A flexible research design which provides
opportunity for considering many different aspects of a problem is considered appropriate
if the purpose of the
research study is that of exploration. But when the purpose happens to be an accurate
description of a situation or of an association between variables, the suitable design will be
one that minimizes bias and maximizes the reliability of the data collected and analyzed.

TYPES OF DATA

34
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

PRIMARY DATA
Primary data are information generated first hand by the research during the field survey
work through questionnaire and interview this information enables the researcher to have
a better understanding and appreciation of the problem.
We collect primary data during the course of doing experiments in an experimental
research but in case we do research of the descriptive type and perform surveys, whether
sample surveys or census surveys, then we can obtain primary data either through
observation or through direct communication with respondents in one form or another or
through personal interviews.

SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., they refer to the data which have
already been collected and analysed by someone else. When the researcher utilises
secondary data, then he has to look into various sources from where he can obtain them. In
this case he is certainly not confronted with the problems that are usually associated with
the collection of original data. Secondary data may either be published data or unpublished
data.

SOURCES OF SECONDARY DATA:


(a) various publications of the central, state are local governments; (b) various publications
of foreign governments or of international bodies and their subsidiary organisations; (c)
technical and trade journals; (d) books, magazines and newspapers; (e) reports and
publications of various associations connected with business and industry, banks, stock
exchanges, etc.; (f) reports prepared by research scholars, universities, economists, etc.
indifferent fields; and (g) public records and statistics, historical documents, and other
sources of published information.

6.4METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION

QUESTIONNAIRE

35
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

The questionnaire to obtain the necessary work was designed to obtain the necessary
information needed for the research. The researcher administered the questionnaire mainly
to the employee of the organizations to ensure a constructor and meaning response from
them.
A questionnaire consists of a number of questionsprinted or typed in a definite order on a
form or set of forms. The questionnaire is mailed to respondents who are expected to read
and understand the questions and write down the reply in the space meant for the purpose
in the questionnaire itself. The respondents have to answer the questions on their own.

OBSERVATION
Observation becomes a scientific tool and the method of data collection for the researcher,
when it serves a formulated research purpose, is systematically planned and recorded and
is subjected to checks and controls on validity and reliability. Under the observation
method, the information is sought by way of investigator’s own direct observation without
asking from the respondent.
The main advantage of this method is that subjective bias is eliminated, if observation is
done accurately. Secondly, the information obtained under this method relates to what is
currently happening; it is not complicated by either the past behavior or future intentions
or attitudes. Thirdly, this method is independent of respondents’ willingness to respond
and as such is relatively less demanding of active cooperation on the part of respondents
as happens to be the case in the interview or the questionnaire method.

INTERVIEW
The need for interview rose as a result of some inadequate inherent in data collection. One
of the important reasons for his method is the need to get an in-depth knowledge of the
silent area, which the questionnaire would not address.

6.5 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED

CONVENIENCE SAMPLING

36
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

A convenience sample is one of the main types of non-probability sampling methods. A


convenience sample is made up of people who are easy to reach.
In all forms of research, it would be ideal to test the entire population, but in most cases,
the population is just too large that it is impossible to include every individual. This is the
reason why most researchers rely on sampling techniques like convenience sampling, the
most common of all sampling techniques. Many researchers prefer this sampling technique
because it is fast, inexpensive, easy and the subjects are readily available.
.
SAMPLE SIZE

there are around 60 line managers and supervisors are working. These 60 people are
universal for this study. Sample size is taken as 50% of universe which is 30.Sample
includes department head, line manager and supervisors.

The research method adopted for this study are both primary and secondary in nature. The
primary date include questionnaire designed for the gathering of relevant and accurate
information from the employees of the organization. The secondary sources of data include
information which were already recorded on the subject of study. They are being used for
some purposes other than that of which they were originally collected The method of data
analysis put in place for the purpose of this study are both descriptive and statistical and
involves the use of tabulation and percentages. Responses will be presented in tables and
will be analyzed in the basic of percentage.

7.1 PRODUCTION PLANNING AT BIZLINK AND TOUBRO ESE-MV


Production planning is heart of production at BIZLINK AND TOUBRO ESE-MV. After
getting the order from the customer load capacity calculation is done and load charts are
generated. After that design dept. issue DIN initially, which stands for design issue note
which helpful for the advance planning. Advance planning require for materials and the
material having long lead time. After DIN release design department gives following
release.

fabrication details

7.2 Load Chart

This load chart will determine the boards that will be BIZLINK going to manufacture in
month of July, with the help of load chart and electrical, mechanical, and work order release
accordingly material planning is done. This help for determining what labourequipment
capacities are needed to meet the production objectives

7.3 PLANNING SHEET

7.3 Planning Sheet

Planning sheet is use for material requirement planning.Planning sheet ensure the
availability of materials, components, and products for planned production and for Ensure
the availability of materials, components, and products for planned production and for
customer delivery, maintain the lowest possible level of inventory, Plan manufacturing
activities, delivery schedules, and purchasing activities.
40
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

Planning sheet contain various information about the material like board no, material
description PO No (purchase order no), PR No (purchase requisition no), expected date at
which material will be reach and also purchaser. Similar plan sheet is make for electrical,
mechanical, bought out material separately.

Planning sheet helps to track the material. Various different color use in planning sheet
green means all material received, yellow means material yet to receive.

7.4 MANUFACTURING SCHEDULE

7.4 Manufacturing Schedule

After all release design of load chart and material planning manufacturing schedule is
created.have 2 assembly lines for MV board manufacturing. Manufacturing schedule is
designed for both assembly lines.

Manufacturing schedule have information about panel of which board will be manufacture
on which day. Both assembly lines have capacity of manufacturing 10 panels per day.
According to the deadlines manufacturing schedule is design. Successfulness of
manufacturing schedule depends upon availability of material at right time otherwise
manufacturing schedule get disturbed. If any delay occurs in manufacturing schedule for
any board then it will propagate to next boards so it is important to have material at
schedule time.

Study and Analysis of Production and Control

2) Advanced planning

Advanced planning done mostly for raw material like copper and aluminum, materials
which are commonly used and material for which lead time is high.

3) Mechanical & Electrical Release


Mechanical & Electrical Release is done by electrical and mechanical design team at
respective manufacturing facility. It contains detail specification of components.

4) Planning & Scheduling


Planning & Scheduling is very important and crucial task at this stage overall material
planning,capacity planning, scheduling of project is done. Plansheet is generated for
material planning.
Load chart helps to determine capacity planning and scheduling of project can be done
which determines which pannel should manufacture

5) PR Release
PR stands for purchase requisition PR is release by Design department. SAP erp system is
used for releasing PR. For each PR item cat no is created. Which contains detail
specification of that component. Releasing PR means design department have given green
signal for that material.

6) Purchase Order
Purchase Order is created and release by purchase department. PO contain PR no of
respective material its vendor, price of that material po& expected date, different taxes. For
creation of PO SAP erp system is used.

43
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

7) Incoming inspection& Quality

This again one of crucial process. Following process is used for inspection and quality.

a) Checking test certificate of material.


Test certificate of incoming material is checked by stores department on the
arrival of material. If any test certificate is missing then that material is kept
aside.
b) Naked eye inspection
Naked eye inspection is done on arrival of material. If any defects are found
then that material is kept in rejection area.
c) HV test
HV test stands for high voltage test. For some materials like vcb it is essential to
check how it is performing under high voltage. It is essential for safety purpose.
Special HV test labs are constructed within the premises of the organization.

d) HT Test
HT test stand for high temperature test. This test determine whether material able
to perform properly at high temperature have highly qualified lab for HT testing.

8) MIN Release

This table is design to understand availability of material at planned date. Here I stands for
indicator which having 2 colors, green and red. Green indicate the all components and
material are available before planned date and red means all material is not available. This
table will help to proper planning and some and point out the area where process need to
improve and necessary actions needs to be taken. Planned date is tentative date where
material and component of particular board need to be at stores which is well before actual
production date as some inspection and test need to be performed.

INTERPRETATION
From 10 may 2014 to 5 June 2014, 7 time all material not available at stores end for
respective boards. Means 21% times material not available at desired date. Planning for
electrical components are need to be properly designed as 4 times material available for
the duration. Sometimes Mechanical components arrived well before expected date which
leads to increasing inventory carrying cost as currently company bearing around 15% of
inventory carrying cost. For bought out material 2 times material not available at desired
date.

Scrap arises mainly from design fault and WIP i.e work in progress fault. WIP fault
constitute more to the scrap amount. In year 2011 scrap amount was 236000 which rose to
268700 in 2012 and further to326700 in 2013. Design should be carefully done so that this
amount can be minimized. Inventory should be carefully handle while manufacturing to
avoid wear and tear to the components

Reasons for increasing scrap value:

time, non-availability of material is main source of bottleneck. Lack of communication
between the different departments like planning dept., production dept. & purchase dept.
cause non availability of material. Respondents feel that missing documents is another
source for bottleneck. Missing documents like invoices, dft cause delay in further
processing which leads to delay in the production.

Q6. If results are not according to the plans, what control measures are taken?
a) Revision of Plan
b) Any other measures.
Please specify other measures (if any)

Interpretation

Majority of respondent i.e. 83% think that they will for revision of plans if result are not
according to the plan. They think if result differ from what it was expected then it is better
to revise the plan

Around 17% people think that there is no need of change of whole plan they want to
concentrate only those areas which leads to failure of the plan remaining plan can be used
as what was design earlier. They think MBE (management by exception) could be
implemented and focus only those problems which causes the result not according to the

9.1FINDINGS

Following are the findings of this project about production planning and control activities

 Planning for electronic components is not up to the mark, materials frequently


missing the planned date as Successfulness of PPC hugely depends on
availability of material on time.
 Organisation need to work on its material management as organization
currently carrying 15% inventory carrying cost.
 Scrap factor affects organisations profitability and efficiency and it is
increasing.
 Production Planning is an integrated activity and cannot be done in isolation by
a particular department.
 System process like GRN, 541, 281movement are not smooth.
 Employee lack in various areas like SAP, vendor coordination, communication
skills.
 PPC helps to reduce the cycle time and increase the turnover via proper
scheduling

62
Study and Analysis of Production and Control

9.2 CONCLUSION

After doing this project I am in position to conclude that it has been a very good
learning experience and now I will able to relate the theories with real world .it
has well defined and structured production planning system. PPC defines the
sequences and schedules of operations; hence production planning contributes
to the efficient use of facilities and equipments.

 Proper PPC helps to resort to just- in- time systems and thereby reduce the
overall inventory. It enables to ensure that the right supplies are available at
the right time.

 PPC ensures optimum utilization of production capacity, material, and other


equipments; hence it leads to waste reduction and increased profits.

 To sum up we may say that PPC is of immense value to the entrepreneur in


capacity utilization and inventory control. More importantly it improves his
response time and quality. As such effective PPC contributes to time,
quality and cost parameters of entrepreneurial success.

 The desired degree of automation in MPS and aggregate capacity planning


is not achievable by the standard software. Moreover, it is not achievable
even with individual programming, because it involves too much creative
work that is difficult to formalize.
 The line scheduling could not be sufficiently computerized, because it is
mostly informal. The rules for batching products and assigning crews are
so complex that it is difficult to produce a working algorithm. It seems that
the best computer support is given just by a well-run database.

It was not possible to understand thoroughly all the aspect of Production Planning and
Control, however a moderate effort to understand a typical work flow of operations are
taken.

a) Project duration was only 2 months so it wasn’t possible to cover all areas in depth in
given period.

b) The limitation in collecting data due to the confidentiality policy of the company.

c) This study does not include full analysis of the production planning and control.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The production planning and control of BIZLINK and Toubro Ltd. ESE-MV, highly
depends on the material availability. In case of shortage of material the overall plan get
disturbed. If such problem prevails the optimum results cannot be achieved. To avoid such
problem following measures can be taken:
 Contract with the vendor regarding price can be done it will help as hedge against
increasing price
 Materials must be purchased from multiple vendors,
 Sufficient safety stock must be maintained,
 Lead time and responsibility must be fixed at the part of vendors.

 Employee training should be provide in various areas like SAP software, vendor
coordinator, communication skills which will helps employees to perform task
better

 Proper tagging of material should be properly done. Sorting of material should be


done. All documents like invoices, dft, and test certificate should be properly
maintained to avoid misplacement and further problems. Delicate material should
be carefully maintain .System process must be smooth like GRN, 541, 281
movement

 JIT implantation for materials can be done which can save lot of inventory carrying
cost for the company.
