• PRODUCTION CONROLL GUIDES AND DIRECT FLOW OF PRODUCTION SO
THAT PRODUCTS ARE MANUFACTURED IN A BEST WAY AND CONFORM TO
PLAN SCHEDULE AND ARE OF A RIGHT QUALITY. CONTROL FACILLITATES THE
TASK OF MANUFACTURING AND SEES THAT EVERY THEME GOES AS PER THE
PLAN
• DEFINATION,” PRODUCTION CONTROL IS THE ART AND SCIENCE OF
ENSURING THAT ALL WHICH OCCURS IS IN ACCORDENCE WITH THE RULES
ESTABLISHED AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED.- HENRY FAYOL
• PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CCONTROL IS CONCERNED WITH
DIRCTING PRODUCTION ALONG THE LINES SET BY THE PLANNING
DEPARTMENT. IN OTHER WORDS PPC is a technique of forecasting ahead,
every steps of the proposed production process, taking them at the right time, at
the right place, in the right quantity, in the right quality and at the right price in
order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness of the overall production operation.
• According to Charles A. Koepke :"Production planning and control may be
defined as the coordination of a series of functions according to a plan which
will, economically utilize the plant facilities and regulate the orderly movement
of goods through their entire manufacturing cycle, from the procurement of all
materials to the shipping of finished goods at a predetermined rate".
• Objectives of Production Planning & Control

Following are the objectives of the production planning and control

• 1) Nature of Input : Manufacturing of product requires varied inputs. Quality of final product
is directly proportional to the quality of the inputs that are being put into the production
process. So, planning is also required to ensure that the right inputs go into the production
process

• 2) Quantum of Inputs : In achieving a production level, the right mix of the inputs is quite
essential. The perfect product can only be produced if the requisite mix of the inputs is taken.
However, any variation in the composition will alter the final product.

• 3) Proper Coordination : Proper coordination between machines, equipment's and the


labour must be ensured. This will reduce the wastage's and ultimately the cost will come down.

• 4) Facilitates Uninterrupted Production : Planning ensures that the material and the
components are supplied continuously and there is no interruption. This ensures that there exist
zero idle time in the production process.
• 5) Timely Delivery : Uninterrupted production leads to timely delivery of the output, leading
to minimum loss of revenue. This further builds healthy relation with the customers.
1. DECISION MAKING : Production planning aids in decision-making. When we understand
current demands and trends, it helps management decide what new products or services are needed.
This data in turn informs the product design, marketing and delivery.
2.PRODUCTION LEVELS : By planning every stage of the production process, managers will know
how much stock they’ll need. Keeping enough stock on hand to fulfill demand, but not so much that
it becomes expensive to store, is a key part of production planning and control. While product
shortfalls can spell disaster for a brand, surplus can lead to expensive damage and waste.
3.RESOURCE MANAGEMENT : A production plan accounts for direct materials, semi-finished
goods, finished goods and work-in-process inventory. Production planning and control can analyze
how much of each is required per month as well as if the quantity suffices for meeting demand.
4.COST ELEMENTS : Production cost elements are all the factors that go into making a product.
These include labor, materials, equipment, facilities costs and energy costs. There’s also a cost
associated with the disruption of production due to acquiring raw materials, equipment problems
and setting up temporary storage capacity.
5.ORDER FULFILLMENT : Only with careful planning through the entire cycle can a business
ensure its orders are shipped in time. Managing inventory and shipping schedules are a crucial part
of this planning. If shipments are backed up, warehouses can grow overcrowded and this is an
expensive problem to solve. Similarly, delays in delivery can cause a poor customer experience.
• Unless we plan every part of the production process in advance, it’s impossible to deliver on time.
Production planning is thus a core part of running a successful enterprise.
DRAWBACKS OF PPC:

• BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS
• RIGIDITY
• TIME CONSUMING
• COSTLY
• DIFFICULT FOR SMALL FIRMS
• DEPENDENT ON EXTERNAL FACTORS

1.ROUTING:

• Routing is determining the exact path which will be followed in


production. It is the selection of the path from where each unit
have to pass before reaching the final stage. The stages from
which goods are to pass are decided in this process.

• “Routing is the specification of the flow sequence of operations


and processes to be followed in producing a particular
manufacturing lot.”Alford & Beatty
PROCEDURE OF ROUTING:

• Deciding what part to be made or purchased (make or buy)


• Determining Materials required
• Determining Manufacturing Operations and Sequences
• Determining of Lot Sizes
• Determining of Scrap Factors
• Analysis of Cost of the Product
• Preparation of Production Control Forms
FACTORS AFFECTING ROUTING
PROCEDURE:
• TYPE OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS/ TECHNIQUE
EMPLOYED
• PLANT EQUIPMENT CHARACTERSTICS
• AVAILABILITY OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT ETC
• DIFFICULTIES FACED DUE TO NON-AVAILABILITY OF
REQUISITE SKILLED MANPOWER
2.SCHEDULING:

• Scheduling is the determining of time and date when each


operation is to be commenced or completed. The time and date
of manufacturing each component is fixed in such a way that
assembling for final product is not delayed in any way.
• “The determination of the time that should be required to
perform each operation and also the time necessary to perform
the entire series, as routed, making allowances for all factors
concerned.”(Kimball)
OBJECTIVES OF SCHEDULING:
• Minimizing delay and interruption in production process.
• Reducing waiting and cost of production.
• Providing required inventories on right time at right place.
• Maximising the utilisation of avaliable resources.
• Balancing the allocation of time among various work centres ,
floors and departments to reduce or eliminate idle capacity
Types of scheduling:

• 1) Master Production Scheduling :Master Production Scheduling (MPS) is a


scheduling strategy that dictates when and how much of each product is going to
be produced based on criteria such as demand, capacity, and inventory availability.
• 2) Manufacturing and Operation Scheduling :This type of scheduling fixes a time
and a date to each operation in a continuous timeline rather than in time buckets.
Each process can then be visualized in terms of its start time and completion time-
frame. The subsequent stages of production planning and control depend on this
timeline.
• 3) Detailed Operation Scheduling: IT indicates the time required to perform each
and every detailed operations of a given process.
3.Loading
• The next step is Loading which is execution of the scheduled plan as per the route
chalked out. It includes the assignment of the work to the operators at their
machines or work places. So Loading determines who will do the work.
• OBJECTIVES OF LOADING:
• Balancing work load among processes and machines.
• Fulfill delivery commitments.
• Continuous mapping of capacity under utilization.
• Plan new orders if there is spare capacity available.
• Run feasibility test for production programmes.
• Maintain consistency in work flow.
4.DISPATCHING:

• Dispatching refers to the process of actually ordering


the work to be done. It involves putting the plan into
effect by issuing orders. It is concerned with starting the
process and operation on the basis of route sheets and
schedule charts.
• “Dispatches put production in effect by releasing and
guiding manufacturing order in the sequence previously
determined by route sheets and schedules.”(John A.
Shubin)
STEPS FOLLOWED IN DISPATCHING :
Dispatching includes the following:
• Issue of materials, tools, fixtures, etc., which are necessary for actual production.
• Issue of orders, instructions, drawings, etc. for starting the work.
• Maintaining proper records of the starting and completing each job on time.
• Moving the work from one process to another as per the schedule.
• Starting the control procedure.
• Recording the idle time of machines taken from starting to completion of each
job.
Types of dispatching: Dispatching may be
either centralized or decentralized:
• CENTRALIZED DISPATCHING: Under this orders are directly
issued to workmen and machines. It helps in exercising effective
control

• DECENTRALIZED DISPATCHING: Under this procedure all work


orders are issued to the foreman or dispatch clerk of the
department or section. It suffers from difficulties in achieving
coordination among different departments.
5. Expediting :
• Expediting (also called “progressing”) is a Progress –Control function.
• Progress may be assessed with the help of routine reports or communication with
operating departments. The follow up procedure is used for expediting and
checking the progress.
• “Follow up or expediting is that branch of production control procedure which
regulates the progress of materials and part through the production process.”
