Production planning
Is the preparation of a detailed plan to manufacture a product.
Production planning is a production process of looking a head
anticipating possible difficulties and deciding in advance as to how to
produce the products.
Production Control
Controlling is deals with the quality of products and progressive
actions, Setting standards and correction of mistakes.
Production control is a process of making sure that production is
constantly maintained to produce the products of given specifications.
Objectives of production planning

• Planning is required to produce economical products with in time

• To avoid difficulties in production and marketing of products
• Planning is needed for meeting and changing economic social
conditions seasonal demands and marketing fluctuations
• In case of series of operations are involved in the production of a
product then planning will improves the efficiency and
effectiveness.
• To increase productivity too.
• Production sysytem
• Productions system may be defined as a framework of activities with
which the inputs are transformed into value added products.

Types of production systems
Continuous production system
• It involves in the uninterrupted
flow of materials into methods
and machines to produce
standardised products in large
quantity
• Mainly materials are handled by
automatic systems
• Eg. Large volume parenteral
Intermittent production system
• It involves in the interrupted
flow of materials into methods
and machines to produce
finished small quantity products
• Expertised workers and
machines are handle the
materials
• Eg. Capsule, tablets, liquid orals
Production planning

Selection of economical Selection of materials,

Production budget

Selection of layout for

Route sheets Schedule time
process
Routing
• Route is refers the path and optimum sequence of operations to be
performed on the job.
• Route sheets are listing the sequence of operations, it also includes
the details such as flow work in terms of sections, machines, persons
and the flow of work
• Routing lays down the flow of work that is what work is to be done
and where and how it will be done, starting from raw material to the
finishing product
Loading
• Load indicates the assingnment of work to men, machines or
department in advance without specifying when the work is to be
done
• Loading is used for ensuring efficient utilization of plant and labour
Scheduling
• Production scheduling may be defined as a process of decision taking
to start the work for production
• Production scheduling optimises the production and inventory cost
by properly sequencing the orders and time phasing
Dispatching records
• Key link between production and sales
• Dispatching function may be routine one of issuing authorization to
start work operation
Few section authorization are follows
• Stores -authorized to deliver materials
• Tool stores- authorized to release necessary tools
• Line ticketing-It record the beginning and ending time of operations
• Inspection order-to carry out quality of the products
Production control
• According to schedule received from production departments, the
control of production consists of 2parts
progress reporting
Corrective action

Correction Post-operation
Observation Analysis
action evaluations
Function of production control
• Receives work progress reports
• Compare them with the scheduled plans
• Removes causes of delay in production
• Modifies the scheduled plant capacities
• Maintains quality of products
Progress control
• Trying to achieve the standards set that is a certain level of efficiency
a volume of production in a specified duration
• Production department transmits the progress report to controlling
sector
• It interprets the progress report and suggest the corrective action
• These are the diagrammatic representation of progressive reports of production
planning are attention for action/investigation
• These are compared against prescribed targets and point out failures
• Then the progress controlling group take the corrective action
Corrective action
• Depends on several factors external and internal
• External factors- these are beyond the control organization
like change in priority of orders due to the arrival of new
orders or due to cancellation of few previous order
• Internal factors-these are with in the control organization
like labour turnover become expansible, lack of necessary
instruction and materials mass absenteeism
Methods to take corrective action
• By making flexible schedules
• Capacity modification by changing the number of working hours and
number of workers
• Flow control is a function of keeping each operation at the same rate
of flow such that the sequence of operations will be completed on
prescribed time
• By decreasing operating times of machines or equipment
• Routing and scheduling also done for this reason too.
