Production Planning and Control

Production planning
categories.
Categories of production planning

There are 3 categories of production planning

Viz.

 Routing
 Scheduling
 Loading.
ROUTING

 “Routing means determination of path or

route over which each piece is to travel in
being transformed from raw material into
finished products.”
-Kimball and Kimball.
Scheduling

 “Thedetermination of time that is required to

perform each operation and also the time
required to perform entire series as routed is
Scheduling.” -Kimball and Kimball.
Scheduling

Features of Scheduling.

3. Description of When and Where of each

operation in a production process is to be
executed.

5. Establishment of timetable at which to begin

and complete each event or operation
comprising any procedure.
Scheduling

 Objectives of Scheduling.
2. Plan the sequence such that delivery date is
meet.
3. Have minimum throughput time. (OUR)
4. Minimize Idle time of Man and Machine.
Thus reducing the cost.
5. Prevent unbalanced allocation of time
among various departments.
Scheduling

 Types of Schedules:-

3. Operation Schedule
4. Master Schedule
5. Sequential Schedule.
Scheduling

I. Operation Schedule:

It Gives details of 2 things.

 Time required to do a piece of work.
 Details of all input requirements
(L-I-M-CA-T)-(CA)
Scheduling

I. Master Schedule
 It is 1st step of actual Production Planning
 How many of each item is to be made.
 Nature depends on 2 basis.
– Order – future order, designing, delivery time.
– Stock – Sales forecast, inventories and buffer.
Ex. Baker.
Scheduling

I. Sequential Scheduling
- Sequence is an order in which a no. of jobs
can be done on a finite number of service
facilities (say machines) in effective
manner.
- Sequencing is basically done for a multi-
product plant.
Scheduling

 Tools for Scheduling/ Scheduling devices.

2. Sequencing
3. Gantt Charts
4. Network Diagrams
- Critical Path Method (CPM)
- Program Evaluation Review Technique.
7. The Run out Approach.
Scheduling (Tools)

 Sequencing.

 Sequence is an order in which a no. of jobs

can be done on a finite number of service
facilities (say machines) in effective
manner.
 Sequencing is basically done for a multi-
product plant.
Scheduling (Sequencing Tool)

 Let see a numerical example.

 Situation:- Suppose 6 jobs are to be done on 2
machines. The time for each job are given below.
Calculate the minimum time required for the same.

JOB/ A B C D E F
Mach.
M1 4 8 3 6 7 5
M2 6 3 7 2 8 4
Scheduling (Sequencing Tool)

 Solution.
 Search for the least time in the whole
problem.
 If the least time belongs to m2, then assign
it as last activity.
 It the least time belongs to M1, the assign it
as 1st Activity.
 Repeat the process.
Scheduling (Sequencing Tool)

 Solution:-
The sequence in our Situation is as follows.

C A E F B D

Class assignment
 Situation.
 There is a press having 2 machines, one for printing and
another for binding. They have 6 books to be printed and
bound. Times are given as follows. Give min. time reqd.

Book A B C D E
PRINT 3 7 4 5 7
BIND 6 2 7 3 4
That’s all for today Folks

See ya in next lecture.
