Functions

Production Planning and Control for Denim Manufacturing

Role of PPC for Denim Manufacturing

Process of Sales Order Execution

Dispatch Date Commitment

The dispatch date commitment is based on following factors Current Load Product Characteristic Bottleneck areas

Capacity Planning

Capacity Planning (Spinning)

Capacity Planning (Dyeing)

Capacity Planning (Weaving)

Capacity Planning (Finishing)

Average Speed= 30 Metres/ min Average Time =18 hours Efficiency %= 0.80 Production capacity (Finishing) per Day= (Avg. Speed x Avg time x Efficiency) Production capacity per day=(30 x 18 x 60 x 0.80) = 25920 metres

Yarn, Weaving and Process Outsourcing

Yarn Outsourcing
-Ring Yarn- 1000 tons (Source-Nahar Industries, Vardhaman, Oswal, Abhishek, Etco, Ravali, Nitin, Nadan etc) -Filament Yarn- 450 tons (Source- Reliance, Welspun, Alok, Taiwan, China etc) -Lycra Yarn -130 tons (Source-Auro, Abhishek etc) -Open end Yarn 150 tons ( Source- Nahar, Abhishek etc) -Linen Yarn- 20 tons ( Source-Jayshree, Germany) -Dyed weft Yarn and melange- 10 tons (Source-Shirting, Winsome)

Plan Release
The plan is forwarded to production department and execution of plan takes place. The production department follows the plan to optimize the production capacity.

Co-ordination and Control

Recommendations
Total Productive Maintenance Sequence of Operations Termination of unnecessary process of Finishing

Conclusion
The production control activity is a chain of interrelated events that functions as a system. The decisions are made for different horizons in time and with different degrees of accuracy. To use limited resources effectively to produce goods that satisfy customer demands and create a profit for investors.
