PRODUCTION PLANNING AND

CONTROL
For efficient, effective and economical operation
in a manufacturing unit of an organization.
Production planning and control address a
fundamental problem of low productivity,
inventory management and resource utilization.
Production planning is required for scheduling,
dispatch, inspection, quality management,
inventory management, supply management and
equipment management.
Production control ensures that production team
can achieve required production target, optimum
utilization of resources, quality management and
cost savings.

PRODUCTION PLANNING AND

CONTROL
Planning and control are an essential ingredient
for success of an operation unit. The benefits of
production planning and control are as follows:
It ensures that optimum utilization of production
capacity is achieved, by proper scheduling of the
machine items which reduces the idle time as well as
over use.
It ensures that inventory level are maintained at
optimum levels at all time, i.e. there is no over-stocking
or under-stocking.
It also ensures that production time is kept at optimum
level and thereby increasing the turnover time.
Since it overlooks all aspects of production, quality of
final product is always maintained.
