• PRODUCTION IS CONCERNED WITH TRANSFORMING RAW
MATERIAL INTO FINISHED PRODUCT WITH THE HELP OF ENERGY,
CAPITAL, MANPOWER AND MACHINARY
• THE AIM OF GOOD PRODUCTION POLICY IS TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM
OUTPUT WITH MINNINMUM INPUT
• PRODUCTION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARE CONCERNED WITH
PRODUCT PLANNING AND CONTROL
• PRODUCTION PLANNING INVOLVES MANAGEMENT DECEISIONS ON
THE RESOURCES THAT THE FIRM WILL REQUIRE FOR ITS
MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS AND THE SELECTION OF THESE
RESOURCES TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED GOODS AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME AND AT THE LEAST POSSIBLE COST.
• DEFINATION : ACCORDING TO RAY WILD, PRODUCTION PLANNING
IS DEFINED AS FOLLOWS,” PRODUCTION PLANNING IS CONCERNED
WITH THE DETERMINATION, ACCQUSITION AND ARRANGEMENT OF
ALL FACILITIES NECCESARY FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS”.
PREPRATION OF PRODUCTION BUDGET
• 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.
• 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.
