Objectives of Production Planning
• To deliver quality goods in required quantities to the customer in the required delivery schedule – to achieve maximum customer satisfaction and minimum possible cost.
• To ensure maximum utilization of all resources.• To ensure production of quality products.• To minimize the product through-put time of
production/manufacturing cycle time.• To maintain optimum inventory level.• To maintain flexibility in manufacturing operations.• To co-ordinate between labour and machines and various
supporting departments.

Aggregate PlanningAggregate planning involves planning the best quantity
to produce during time periods in the intermediate-range horizon (often 3 months to 18 months) and planning the lowest cost method of providing the adjustable capacity to accommodate production requirements.
• It facilitates fully loaded facilities and minimizes overloading and under loading and keeps production cost low.
• Adequate production capacity is provided to meet expected aggregate demand.
• To manage change in production/ operations management by planning for production resources that adapt to the changes in customer demands.

Flowchart of Aggregate plan and Master Production Schedule
Steps in Aggregate Capacity Planning• Prepare the sales forecast for each product
that indicates the quantities to be sold in each time period.
• Sum up the individual forecast into one aggregate demand.
• Transform the aggregate demand for each time period into labour, materials, machines and other elements of production capacity required to satisfy aggregate demand.
• Develop alternative resource schemes for supplying the necessary production to support the cumulative aggregate demand and choose the best that meets the objectives of the organisation.
Master Production Scheduling
The master production scheduling sets the quantity of each end item(finished product) to be completed in each time period of the short range planning horizon.
Objectives:
1. To schedule end items to be completed promptly and when promised to customers.
2. To avoid overloading or under-loading the production facility so that production facility is efficiently utilized at the optimum cost.
Functions of Master Production Schedule
• Translating aggregate plans into specific end items.
• Evaluating alternative schedules.• Generating material requirements.• Generating capacity requirements.• Facilitating information processing.• Maintaining valid priorities.• Utilizing capacity effectively.
The elements of MPS:1. Demand management.2. Lot sizing.3. No. of products to be scheduled(product-
mix).Symptoms of poorly designed MPS:4. Overloaded facilities5. Under-loaded facilities6. Excessive inventory levels on some end
items and frequent stock out on others.7. Unrealistic schedules that production
personnel do not follow.8. Unreliable delivery promises to customers.9. Excessive expediting or follow-up.
Capacity Requirement PlanningCapacity Requirement Planning is a techniques
for determining what labour/personnel and equipment capacities are needed to meet the production objectives.
It involves activities such as • Assessing existing capacity and forecasting
future capacity needs• Identifying alternative ways to modify capacity• Evaluating financial, economical and
technological capacity alternatives to avoid bottlenecks.
• Plan capacity to achieve the production schedule
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a system for planning the future
requirements of dependent demand items.
Material Requirements Planning
Functions:• Order planning and control.• Priority planning and control.• Provision of a basis for planning capacity
requirements and development of broad business plans.
Successful implementation of MRP results into reduced levels of average inventory, optimum utilisation of human and capital resources, workforce planning, improved vendor relations, better capital investment decisions, reduced delivery lead times.

Materials Requirements Planning (MRP)
• Computer based system• Explodes Master Schedule (MPS) into
required amounts of raw materials and subassemblies to support MPS
• Nets against current orders and inventories to develop production and purchased material ordering schedules
Material Requirements Planning
• How much of an item is needed?
• When is an item needed to complete– a specified number of units...– in a specified period of time?
• Dependent demand drives MRP
Objectives of MRP
• Improve customer service• Reduce inventory investment• Improve plant operating efficiency
MRP Computer Program
• Begins with number of end items needed• Add service parts not included in MPS• Explode MPS into gross requirements by
consulting bill of materials file• Modify gross requirements to get net
requirements:• Net Requirements = Gross Requirements
+ Allocated Inventory+ Safety Stock
- Inventory On Hand• Offset orders to allow for lead time
Outputs of MRP
• Planned order schedule - quantity of material to be ordered in each time period
• Changes to planned orders - modifications to previous planned orders
• Secondary outputs:– Exception reports – Performance reports– Planning reports
More MRP Terminology• Gross Requirements
–These requirements are typically forecast for independent demand items
–Today’s trend is to replace forecasts with blanket orders in order to reduce variability and shorten lead-time
–The customer is offered a price discount for placing blanket orders
More MRP Terminology• On-hand inventory
– The inventory physically present in the facility
• Allocated inventory
– The inventory physically present in the facility but allocated to a particular work order or purchase order
More MRP Terminology
• Net requirements–A quantity of an item that must be purchased or
manufactured in order to be able to fully deliver independent demand requirements in a timely fashion
–Presence of positive net requirements signals that an order must be planned to be received in a given period
–Net requirement quantities are subject to adjustments due to lot sizes considerations. This may lead to some orders being received early (inventory is held) or late (order backlog)
More MRP Terminology• Planned order released
– Quantities that must be planned to be released in some future periods in order to meet the requirements
More MRP Terminology• Scheduled receipts
– Quantities that will be received in some future periods as their corresponding orders have been released in the past • Planned order receipts become scheduled receipts
at the time when they are released to the shop or to suppliers
