Elements of production planning
Production planningProduction planning may be said to be a technique of
forecasting ahead every step in the long process of production, taking them at right time and in right degree and trying to complete operation at maximum efficiency.
Characteristics:1.Inputs like material,men and machines are efficiently
used
2.Factors of production are integrated to use them economically.
characteristics3.Division of work is under taken carefully so that every
available element is properly utilized.
4.work is regulated from first stage of procuring raw
material to the stage of finished goods.
5.Questions like what when and how to be
manufactured are decided.
Aims and Objectives Determining the sequence of operations for continous
production
Planning plant capacity for future production programme
Issuing co-ordinated work schedules to concerned persons
Maintaining sufficient inventories to support continuous flow of
production
Evaluating the performance of workshops
Ensures delivery at proper time
ImportanceProduction planning is important for the following reasons
For increasing the production-main purpose of production
planning is to arrange inputs. it helps in raising industrial
outputs
For coordinating plant activity-In planning production is
carried out in a number of processes and thus activities are
synchronized for smooth working
LimitationsFollowing are the limitations faced by production planning;
Based on assumptions-in case the assumptions prove correct,the planning control go smoothly but if they go wrong procol will go weak.
Rigidity in behavior of employees-it may not help in smoothing flow of work.
Costly-its implementation requires separate person to perform functions.
Dependence on external factors-like climate, change in technology ,govrt control etc
Planning
Planning is deciding is advance what is to be done in
future. An organizational set up is created to prepare
plans and policies. Various charts manuals and
production budgets are also prepared.
A separate department is setup for this work.
RoutingRouting is determining the exact path which will be followed
in production .It is the selection of path from where each
unit have to pass before reaching to the final stage.
Scheduling
Scheduling is the determining of time and date when
each operation is to be commenced or completed.
It is the last stage of planning before production
occurs and decided WHEN inputs are used.
Scheduling
Objectives in scheduling;
*meet customers due date *minimize overtime
*minimize job lateness
*maximize labour & machine utilization
*minimize idle time
*Minimize response time *minimize completion time
Despatching Despatching 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 models.
Inspection Inspection is the process of ensurring whether the
products manufactured are of requisite quality or not.
Inspection is undertaken both of the products and inputs.
It is carried out on at various levels of production process so that predetermined standards of the quality are achieved.
Inspection ensures the maintinance of pre determined quality of products.
