For
efficient and effective operation in a manufacturing unit of an organization,
it is essential to integrate the production planning and control system.
Production planning and control deals with basic concepts of what to produce,
when to produce, how much to produce, etc.
This addresses the fundamental problem of low productivity, high
inventory cost and poor resource utilization.
Disciplined
planning and control ensure that production teams achieve targets, optimum
resource utilization, quality management and cost savings.
