What is Production Planning & Control (PPC)?
Production planning and control is a predetermined process
which includes the use of:
• human resource,
• raw materials,
• machines etc.
PPC is the technique to plan each and every step in a long series of
separate operation. It helps to take the right decision at the right time
and at the right place to achieve maximum efficiency.

Objectives of Production Planning & Control

1. to ensure safe and economical production process


2. to effectively utilize plant to maximize productivity
3. to maximize efficiency by proper coordination in production process
4. to ensure proper delivery of goods
5. to place the right man for the right job, at right time for right wages.

7. to reduce the waiting time
Main elements of Production Planning & Control

1.Routing
2.Loading
3.Scheduling
4.Dispatching
5.Follow up
6.Inspection
7.Corrective
1. Routing
• selection of path or route through which raw materials pass in order
to make it into a finished product.
• The points to be noted while routing process are –
ü full capacity of machines,
ü economical and short route and
ü availability of alternate routing.
2. Loading and scheduling
Loading and Scheduling are concerned with preparation of workloads
and fixing of starting and completing date of each operation. On the
basis of the performance of each machine, loading and scheduling

taken in the weaker spots.
