Production Planning

Production planning is the planning of production and manufacturing system of a plant, organization or industry. It optimizes the resource assignment of activities of employees, materials, and manufacturing capacity to serve various customers. Basically, production planning can be done at three different time periods which are short term, midterm, and long term.

Short term planning can be done for day to day operations. Mid-term planning can be done for demand forecast and capacity planning. Long term planning can be done for capital investment, location and facility planning.

Simply put, production planning focuses on what to produce when to produce, how much to produce in a given time period. Therefore production planning ensures that the materials and equipment which meet quality specifications are available during the production process.
