Production Planning and Control

Prof. V. A Dubey

Abstract :

Production planning and control (PPC) seeks to provide an optimal and effective measure so as to counter the underlying risk and uncertainty in the firm’s operations and its capability to meet the market expectations  and is hence one of the key variables impacting the operations of a contemporary business organization. Choice of appropriate method is critical to efficiently operate and sustain operations in the complex business environment that we witness today.Moreover, the PPC methods must be dynamic to “fit–in” with the changing environmental requirements while ensuring the optimization of delivery. In response to the above requirement, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has evolved over a period of time and come to be recognized as the most important resource planning and control mechanism. No wonder, it enjoys a wide spread applicability today. ERP basically manages the manufacturing process by effecting harmony and integration amongst the various production planning andcontrol functions resulting in optimization of resource usage.

This paper closely examines the recent changes that have occurred in PPC methods and how they have impacted the manufacturing firm. Limitations of the existing techniques have been highlighted while suggesting improvement measures for optimizing the organisational efficiency.
