CONTROL
PRODUCTION PLANNING
Meaning:Production planning involves management decisions 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.
OBJECTIVES OF PRODUCTION
PLANNING
1.To determine the requirements of men, material and equipment.
2.Arranging production schedules according to the needs of
marketing demand.
3.Arranging various inputs at a right time and in right quantity.
4.Making most economical use of various inputs.
5.To achieve coordination among various departments relating
to production.
6.To make all arrangements to remove possible obstacles in the
way of smooth production.
7.To achieve economy in production cost and time.
8.To operate plant at planned level of efficiency.
9.Making efforts to achieve production targets in time.
10.Providing for adequate stocks for meeting contingencies.
PRODUCTION CONTROL
Meaning:Production control guides and directs flow of production so that
products are manufactured in a best way and conform to a
planned schedule and are of the right quality.Control facilitates
the task of manufacturing and see that every theme goes as per
the plan.

OBJECTIVES OF PRODUCTION
CONTROL
1.To implement production plans by issuing orders
to those who are supposed to implement them.
2.To ensure that various inputs like men, machine,
materials etc. are available in the required quantity
and quality.
3.Making efforts to adhere to the production schedules.
4.To ensure that goods are produced according to the
prescribed standards and quality norms.
5.To undertake the best and most economic production
policies.
6.To introduce a proper system of quality control.
7.To ensure rapid turnover of production and minimizing
of inventories of raw materials and finished products.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL
1. It is the planning and control of manufacturing process
in an enterprise.
2.Questions like-what is to be manufactured? when it is tobe
manufactured? etc.
3.All types of inputs like materials,men,machines are
efficiently used for maintaining efficiency of manufacturing
process.
4.Various factors of production are integrated to use them
efficiently and economically.
5.The manufacturing process is organised in such a way
that none of the work centres is either overworked or
under worked.
6.The work is regulated from the first stage of procuring
raw materials to the stage of finished goods.
2. Rigidity: - Under production planning and control the things are pre-decided and
fixed. There is rigidity in the behavior of employees and it may not help in
smoothening the flow of work.
3. Difficult for Small Firms: - This process is time consuming and small firms
may not be able to make use of production planning and control.
B.Routing
D. Dispatching
F. Inspection
Planning
Routing
Routing Procedure:
product is thoroughly analyzed to find out which parts are required for it.
The second decision is taken regarding the production or purchase of
various components. Some components may be manufactured by the firm
and others may be procured from the market. During slack periods most of
the components may be manufactured by the firm but when industrial
activity is at its peak then supplies from outside may be contracted.
product will enable us to know the type of materials required for producing
various components. The right type of quality, quantity, and time when
needed should also be decided in advance.
Preparation of Production Control Forms: The carrying out of routing will be facilitated if forms are prepared to
collect information for control purpose. The requirements are: job
cards, inspection cards, move tickets, labour cards, tool tickets, etc.
SCHEDULING
Types of schedules
DESPATCHING
PROCEDURE:
IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS
1.Material requisitions
2.work order
3.control sheet
4.Internal delivery note
5.Tool and gauge ticket
