Transcript of Production Planning and Inventory Management
Production Planning
All manufacturing and service operations require planning and controlling, although the formality and detail may vary. Some operations are more difficult to plan than others. Those with high unpredictability can be difficult to plan. Some are more difficult to control than others. The day to day running of manufacturing and service system rests with Production Planning.
The purpose of the production planning is to ensure that manufacturing run effectively and efficiently and produces products as required by customers.
Production Planning Activities
Capacity Planning1. Facility Size2. Equipment Procurement
Aggregate Planning1. Facility Utilization2. Personnel needs3. Subcontracting
Master Production Scheduling1. MRP2. Disaggregation of master plan
Short-term Scheduling1. Work center loading2. Job sequencing
Long-term(years)
Intermediate-term(6 to 18 months)
Short-term(weeks)
Very Short-term(hours – days)

Production Planning: Units of Measurement
Aggregate Planning Strategies Pure Strategies
Capacity Options --change capacity: changing inventory levels varying work force size by hiring or layoffs varying production capacity through overtime or
idle time subcontracting using part-time workers
Demand Options --change demand: Influencing demand backordering during high demand periods counterseasonal product mixing
Why Aggregate Planning Is Necessary
Fully load facilities and minimize overloading and underloading
Make sure enough capacity available to satisfy expected demand
Plan for the orderly and systematic change of production capacity to meet the peaks and valleys of expected customer demand
Get the most output for the amount of resources available
Inputs
A forecast of aggregate demand covering the selected planning horizon (6-18 months)
The alternative means available to adjust short- to medium-term capacity, to what extent each alternative could impact capacity and the related costs
The current status of the system in terms of workforce level, inventory level and production rate
Outputs
A production plan: aggregate decisions for each period in the planning horizon about workforce level inventory level production rate
Projected costs if the production plan was implemented

Aggregate Planning Example
Keepdry, a small manufacturing company (200 employees), produces umbrellas. The company, founded in 1991 produces the following three product lines: 1) the Executive Line, 2) the Durable Line and 3) the Compact line shown in the following figure.

Inventory Management Inventory-A physical resource that a firm
holds in stock with the intent of selling it or transforming it into a more valuable state.
Inventory System- A set of policies and controls that monitors levels of inventory and determines what levels should be maintained, when stock should be replenished, and how large orders should be

Understocking (too few) results in missed deliveries, lost sales, dissatisfied customers, and production bottlenecks (idle workers or machines).
Resulting underage cost. Overstocking (too many) ties up funds that might
be more productive elsewhere.
Resulting overage cost.
Goal: matching supply with demand!
Inadequate control of inventories can result Inadequate control of inventories can result in both under- and overstocking of items.in both under- and overstocking of items.
Reasons for Inventories Improve customer service Economies of purchasing Economies of production Transportation savings Hedge against future Unplanned shocks (labor strikes, natural
disasters, surges in demand, etc.) To maintain independence of supply chain
Reasons Against Inventory
Non-value added costs Opportunity cost Complacency Inventory deteriorates, becomes
obsolete, lost, stolen, etc.

Independent and Depenedent Demand
Independent demand items are finished products or parts that are shipped as end items to customers.
Dependent demand items are raw materials, component parts, or subassemblies that are used to produce a finished product.

Objectives of Inventory Control
1) Maximize the level of customer service by avoiding understocking.
2) Promote efficiency in production and purchasing by minimizing the cost of providing an adequate level of customer service.
Balance in Inventory Levels
When should the company replenish its inventory, or when should the company place an order or manufacture a new lot?
How much should the company order or produce?

Classifying Inventory Items ABC Classification (Pareto
Principle) A Items: very tight control, complete
and accurate records, frequent review B Items: less tightly controlled, good
records, regular review C Items: simplest controls possible,
minimal records, large inventories, periodic review and reorder
ABC Classification System
Classifying inventory according to some measure of importance and allocating control efforts accordingly.
AA - very important
BB - mod. important
CC - least important Annual $ value of items
