- "Production planning is the planning of production and manufacturing modules in a company or industry."
The process of determining the manufacturing capacity required to fulfill customer demand based on sales forecasts, inventory levels or other criteria.
Demand Forecasting: It involves predicting future sales of goods or services based on historical data and market trends.
Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP): S&OP is a strategic process that integrates sales and operational plans to meet business requirements, such as production capacity, inventory, and customer demand.
Capacity Planning: Capacity planning refers to determining the production capacity required to meet customer demand within a given timeframe.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP): MRP is a system that calculates what materials are needed, in what quantities, and when they are required to meet production needs.
Inventory Management: Inventory management ensures that sufficient inventory levels are maintained to meet customer demand, while minimizing holding costs.
Master Production Scheduling (MPS): MPS is a plan that details what products are to be manufactured, what quantities, and when they are required to meet demand.
Order Fulfillment: Order fulfillment is the process of delivering goods or services to customers, including order entry, order picking, packing, and shipping.
Supplier Relationship Management (SRM): SRM involves managing relationships with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of quality goods and services.
Production Control: Production control involves coordinating and managing production processes to meet customer demand efficiently.
Lean Manufacturing: Lean manufacturing is a methodology that aims to increase efficiency and reduce waste in production processes.
Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory: JIT is an inventory system that involves producing and delivering products in exactly the quantity and time needed to meet demand, thus minimizing inventory costs.
Continuous Improvement: Continuous improvement is the ongoing process of making incremental improvements in production processes to achieve better efficiency and quality.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): ERP is a software system that integrates various aspects of a business, including production planning, inventory management, and customer relationship management.
Quality Management: Quality management involves establishing and maintaining quality standards to ensure customer satisfaction and product reliability.
Supply Chain Analytics: Supply chain analytics involves analyzing data to monitor and improve supply chain performance and efficiency.
Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP): A strategic approach to aligning demand and supply by integrating sales forecasting, production planning, and inventory management.
Master Production Scheduling (MPS): A detailed plan that specifies how much of a product will be made, when it will be made and how it will be made.
Material Requirement Planning (MRP): A planning process that uses a computerized system to calculate the materials and components required for production, based on the master production schedule.
Capacity Planning: A process of determining the production capacity needed to meet demand and the most efficient way to utilize the available resources.
Production Control: A process of overseeing the production process to ensure that it is running smoothly and on track with the production schedule.
Just-in-Time (JIT) Planning: A system of production planning and control that emphasizes the production of goods at the exact moment they are needed, without any inventory buildup.
Lean Manufacturing: A production system that aims to minimize waste and maximize efficiency by continuously improving processes and reducing costs.
Agile Manufacturing: A production system that is flexible and adaptable to changing market needs, allowing for quick response to customer demand.
Engineer-to-Order (ETO) Planning: A production process where products are designed and engineered to meet specific customer requirements.
Make-to-Order (MTO) Planning: A production process where products are manufactured only after they have been ordered by customers.
Assemble-to-Order (ATO) Planning: A production process where products are assembled from pre-existing components according to customer specifications.
Batch Production: A manufacturing process where a group of products is produced at the same time, based on a specific order or set of requirements.
Continuous Production: A manufacturing process where products are produced in a continuous flow, without stopping the production line.
Job Shop Production: A manufacturing process that produces one-of-a-kind items, such as custom-made furniture, where each product requires unique materials and processes.
Repetitive Production: A manufacturing process where the same product is produced repeatedly in large quantities, such as production of automobiles or electronics.
- "It utilizes the resource allocation of activities of employees, materials and production capacity, in order to serve different customers."
- "Different types of production methods, such as single item manufacturing, batch production, mass production, continuous production, etc."
- "Different types of production methods [...] have their own type of production planning."
