 Introduction :
Production and Operations Management - Production Planning and Control(PPC):

The goal of production planning and control is to steer production in the directions established by the
planning department. Planning, directing, and coordinating the firm's resources and physical infrastructure in
order to achieve established production goals in the most cost-effective way can be referred to as production
planning and control.
The process of production planning and control is predetermined and involves the use of resources such as
raw materials, labor, machinery, etc. PPC is a method for strategically planning each and every action in a
lengthy chain of independent actions. To be as effective as possible, the proper decision must be made at the
appropriate moment and location.

Stages in Production Planning and Control(PPC):

1. Planning
2. Operations
3. Control

Scope or Classification of Production Planning and Control Functions:

1. Materials
2. Methods
3. Machines and Equipment
4. Routing
5. Estimating
6. Loading and Scheduling
7. Dispatching
8. Progressing
9. Inspection
10. Evaluating or controlling
11. Cost Control

 Production Planning:
In terms of production planning and management, creating a proper production plan is essential. By
orchestrating a plan, production is given a schedule to adhere to, which can further enhance the procedure as
a whole.

A production plan can determine:

 What is Going to be Produced
 Where it is Going to be Produced
 How it is Going to be Produced
 By Who it is Going to be Produced
 It involves the organisation of an overall manufacturing system to produce a product.
 The objective of production planning is to provide a physical system together with a set of operating
guidelines for efficient conversion of raw materials, human skills, and other inputs into finished
products.

Information on the quantity and quality of raw materials, customer orders, and the overall budget are used to
conduct the production plan. This is how the program generates several schedules and swiftly converts them
into labor demands for tools, laborers, or any kind of materials. Production planning and control software
makes the production plan, which serves as the framework for the entire manufacturing process, considerably
simpler.

Factors determining the production planning procedure

1. Volume of production
2. Nature of production processes
3. Nature of Operations

Production Control
Importance of Control Function

1. Provide for the production of parts, assemblies, and products of required quality and quantity at the
required time.
2. Provide for optimum utilisation of all resources.
3. Co-ordinate, monitor and feedback to manufacturing management.
4. Achieve the broad objectives of low-cost production and reliable customer service.

Benefits of Production Control
1. Improvements in profits through the reduction in indirect costs, set up costs, reduction in scrap,
inventory costs.
2. Competitive advantage reliable delivery to customers, lower production costs and greater pricing
flexibility.

Elements of Production Control

1. Control of Planning
2. Control of Materials
3. Control of Tooling
4. Control of Manufacturing Capacity
5. Control of Activities
6. Control of quantity
7. Control of Material handling
8. Control of Information

Factors determining Production Control Procedures

1. Nature of production
2. Complexity of Operations
3. Magnitude of Operations

Objectives of Production Planning and Control

1. To ensure safe and economical production process
2. To deliver quality goods in required quantities
3. To ensure production of quality products
4. To maximize efficiency by proper coordination in production process
5. To ensure maximum utilisation of all resources
6. To place the right man for the right job, at right time for right wages.
7. To maintain optimum inventory levels.
8. To maintain flexibility in manufacturing operations
9. To ensure effective cost reduction and cost control
10. To plan for plant capacities for future requirements.
11. To effectively utilise plant to maximize productivity
12. To minimise labour turnover
13. To reduce the waiting time
14. To ensure proper delivery of goods

 Main elements of Production Planning and Control
The following are main elements of Production Planning and Control:

Stages of Production Planning & Control

Production Planning & Control is done in three stages namely;

1. Pre-planning
2. Planning
3. Control.

Stage 1: Pre-Planning
The foundational work on the product design, layout design, and work flow is prepared during this stage of
production planning. The operations that involve the scope and capacity of human resources, financial
resources, manufacturing resources, and time are estimated.

Stage 2: Planning
This is a phase where a complete analysis on routing, estimating and scheduling is done. It also tries to find out the
areas of concern for short time and long time so that prominent planning can be prepared.

Stage 3: Control
The tasks covered by this phase include dispatching, following up, inspecting, and evaluating. It makes an
effort to analyze the progress of work in progress. This is a crucial stage in the production planning and
control process.
