The Concept
Planning: consideration of all input variables to achieve predetermined output goals; a pre-production activity to determine optimal production schedule, operation sequence, economic batch quantity, etc.
Control: remedial action to prevent variance of output from planned levels; tracking operations to ensure compliance with planned levels
Production Planning Stages
Defining objectives
Setting priorities to attain objectives
Examining internal & external environments of planned system
Determining achievable targets
Determining inputs needed to achieve targets
Objectives
Effectiveness: goods to fulfill customers’ needs
Maximising output: maximum output with minimum input
Quality control: Product/service quality meets planned quality specifications
Minimise throughput time: conversion of RM to FG in minimum time
