Production Planning: Presented by Shipra Shukla

Production planning involves determining in advance how raw materials will be transformed into finished goods. It aims to efficiently use inputs like materials, labor, and machines. Production planning also determines the sequence of operations, plans plant capacity for future production, and issues coordinated work schedules. Key elements of production planning include planning, routing, scheduling, dispatching, and follow up to ensure the smooth and continuous flow of production. The overall goals of production planning are efficient operations, maximizing sales and profits, and satisfying customers.

PRODUCTION

PLANNING
Presented By Shipra Shukla
What is production planning
Production:-
that transformation the raw material to
finished goods.
Planning:-
look ahead, antisipate possible difficulty and
decide in advance as how to production best be carried
out
DEFINITION
“The planning of industrial operation involves three
consideration, namely , what work shall be done, how
the work shall be done and lastly when shall be done”
by- kim & kimball
Characteristics
Input like materials, men and machine are efficiently
used
Factors of production are integrated to use then
economically
Division of work is undertaken carefully so that every
available element is properly utilished
Question like what, when and how to be
manufactured are decided
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Determining sequence of operation for continous
production
Planning plant capacity for future production
programmes
Issuing co- ordinated work schedules to concerned
person
Maintaining sufficient inventories to support
continuous flow of production
NEED AND IMPORTANCE

For increasing production- main purpose of


production planning is to arrange inputs. It helps in
raising industrial output.
For co-ordination plant activity- in planning
production is carried out in a number of processes and
thus activities are synchronized for smooth working.
LIMITATION
Based on assumptions- production planning and
control is based on certain assumption. In case the
assumptions prove correct, the planning and control
will go smoothly. But if they go wrong, process of
planning and control will go weak
Rigidity- under production planning and control there
is rigidity in the behaviour of employees and it may
not help in smoothening flow of work
Dificult for small firms- this process is time
consuming process and therefore not affordable for
small firms.
Costly- it is a costly device as its implementation
requires separate persons to perform function of
planning, expediting, dispatching etc
Dependence on external factors- external factors like
natural calamities, change in technology, government
controls etc reduce effectiveness of production
planning.
ELEMENTS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING

PLANNING
ROUTING
SCHEDULING
DESPATCHING
FOLLOW UP
PLANNING
Planning is the first elements of production planning
& controlling. Planning in advance what to do, how to
do it and who to do it. Planning bridges the gap from
where we are and where we want to go. It makes it
possible for thing to occour which would not
otherwise happen
ROUTING
Routing is determining the exact path which will be
followed in production .It is the selection of the path
from where each unit have to pass before reaching the
final stages. The stages from which goods are to pass
are decided in this process.
SCHEDULING
Scheduling is the determining of time and date when
each operation is to be commenced or completed. The
time and date of manufacturing each component is
fixed in such a way that assembling for final product is
not delayed in any way.
DESPATCHING
Despatching refers to the process of actually ordering
the work to be done. It involves putting the plan into
effect by issuing orders. It is concerned with starting
the process and operation on the basis of route sheets
and schedule charts.
FOLLOW UP
Follow up or expediting is that branch of production
control procedure which regulates the progress of
materials and part through the production precess.
CONCLUSION
Smooth working process
Sales maximization
Profit maximization
Consumers satisfaction
Cantinuous flow of production and distribution
