During booking orders or allocating orders to the production line, planners must check
what is running on the line and how many days it will take to complete the Running
style.
Benefit of Line planning: It helps production manager as well as line supervisor with
information such as what is the daily production target for line. They set their line
(machines and manpower) accordingly. Line plan also provides information such as
how many days style would run, what is the next style going to be loaded?
