1. Purpose
To establish a standardized procedure for production planning and scheduling to ensure
efficient use of resources, timely production, and meeting customer requirements.

2. Scope
This procedure applies to all employees involved in the production planning and scheduling
process, including the Production, Procurement, and Quality Control departments.

3. Definitions
● Master Production Schedule (MPS): A plan for individual commodities to be produced
in each time period.
● Bill of Materials (BOM): A comprehensive list of materials, components, and
assemblies required to build a product.
● Lead Time: The total time required to manufacture an item, including order processing,
production, and delivery.
● Capacity Planning: The process of determining the production capacity needed to meet
changing demands.

4. Responsibilities
● Production Manager: Oversee the production planning and scheduling process.
● Production Planner: Develop and maintain production schedules.
● Procurement Team: Ensure the availability of materials and components.
● Quality Control (QC) Team: Inspect materials and finished products to ensure quality
standards.

5. Procedure
5.1 Data Collection and Forecasting
1. Gather Data:
○ Collect historical sales data, market trends, and customer orders.
○ Review inventory levels and current production capacity.
2. Forecast Demand:
○ Use collected data to forecast future product demand.
○ Adjust forecasts based on market analysis and sales trends.

5.2 Production Planning

1. Develop Master Production Schedule (MPS):


○ Create an MPS based on demand forecasts and inventory levels.
○ Include planned production quantities and timelines.
2. Material Requirements Planning (MRP):
○ Generate a Bill of Materials (BOM) for each product.
○ Calculate the required materials and components.
○ Schedule material deliveries to align with production needs.
3. Capacity Planning:
○ Assess current production capacity.
○ Plan for additional capacity if needed to meet forecasted demand.

5.3 Scheduling

1. Create Production Schedule:


○ Develop a detailed production schedule based on the MPS.
○ Assign production tasks and timelines to specific workstations and employees.
2. Coordinate with Departments:
○ Communicate the production schedule to all relevant departments.
○ Ensure alignment between production, procurement, and quality control.
3. Monitor Progress:
○ Track the progress of production activities.
○ Adjust the schedule as necessary to address any delays or issues.

5.4 Quality Control

1. Inspect Materials:
○ Conduct quality inspections on incoming materials.
○ Ensure materials meet required specifications before production.
2. Inspect Finished Products:
○ Perform quality checks on finished products.
○ Document and address any quality issues.

5.5 Review and Adjustment

1. Review Production Performance:


○ Analyze production performance against the schedule.
○ Identify areas for improvement and efficiency gains.
2. Adjust Plans:
○ Update the production plan and schedule based on performance reviews.
○ Implement necessary changes to improve production processes.

6. Documentation and Record Keeping


1. Maintain Records:
○ Keep records of production schedules, material requirements, and quality
inspections.
○ Ensure records are easily accessible and securely stored.
2. Review and Update Procedures:
○ Regularly review and update production planning and scheduling procedures to
reflect any changes in processes or regulations.
