2. Production planning Is the preparation of a detailed plan to manufacture a product. Production planning is a production process of looking a head anticipating possible difficulties and deciding in advance as to how to produce the products. Production Control Controlling is deals with the quality of products and progressive actions, Setting standards and correction of mistakes. Production control is a process of making sure that production is constantly maintained to produce the products of given specifications.

3. Objectives of production planning Planning is required to produce economical products with in time To avoid difficulties in production and marketing of products Planning is needed for meeting and changing economic social conditions seasonal demands and marketing fluctuations In case of series of operations are involved in the production of a product then planning will improves the efficiency and effectiveness. To increase productivity too.

4. Production sysytem Productions system may be defined as a framework of activities with which the inputs are transformed into value added products. Inputs out put Materials Men Energy Production operations Goods and services

5. Types of production systems Continuous production system It involves in the uninterrupted flow of materials into methods and machines to produce standardised products in large quantity Mainly materials are handled by automatic systems Eg. Large volume parenteral Intermittent production system It involves in the interrupted flow of materials into methods and machines to produce finished small quantity products Expertised workers and machines are handle the materials Eg. Capsule, tablets, liquid orals

6. Production planning Production budget Selection of economical process Selection of materials, methods & machines Selection of layout for process Schedule time Route sheets

7. Routing Route is refers the path and optimum sequence of operations to be performed on the job. Route sheets are listing the sequence of operations, it also includes the details such as flow work in terms of sections, machines, persons and the flow of work Routing lays down the flow of work that is what work is to be done and where and how it will be done, starting from raw material to the finishing product

8. Loading Load indicates the assingnment of work to men, machines or department in advance without specifying when the work is to be done Loading is used for ensuring efficient utilization of plant and labour Scheduling Production scheduling may be defined as a process of decision taking to start the work for production Production scheduling optimises the production and inventory cost by properly sequencing the orders and time phasing

9. Dispatching records Key link between production and sales Dispatching function may be routine one of issuing authorization to start work operation Few section authorization are follows Stores -authorized to deliver materials Tool stores- authorized to release necessary tools Line ticketing-It record the beginning and ending time of operations Inspection order-to carry out quality of the products

10. Production control According to schedule received from production departments, the control of production consists of 2parts progress reporting Corrective action Observation Analysis Correction action Post-operation evaluations

11. Function of production control Receives work progress reports Compare them with the scheduled plans Removes causes of delay in production Modifies the scheduled plant capacities Maintains quality of products

12. Progress control Trying to achieve the standards set that is a certain level of efficiency a volume of production in a specified duration Production department transmits the progress report to controlling sector It interprets the progress report and suggest the corrective action

13. These are the diagrammatic representation of progressive reports of production planning are attention for action/investigation These are compared against prescribed targets and point out failures Then the progress controlling group take the corrective action

14. Corrective action Depends on several factors external and internal External factors- these are beyond the control organization like change in priority of orders due to the arrival of new orders or due to cancellation of few previous order Internal factors-these are with in the control organization like labour turnover become expansible, lack of necessary instruction and materials mass absenteeism

15. Methods to take corrective action By making flexible schedules Capacity modification by changing the number of working hours and number of workers Flow control is a function of keeping each operation at the same rate of flow such that the sequence of operations will be completed on prescribed time By decreasing operating times of machines or equipment Routing and scheduling also done for this reason too.
