Course details

Production planning and control (PPC) is a key part of manufacturing that ensures products are made efficiently and on time. Production planning focuses on deciding what to produce, when to produce it, and in what quantity, taking a long-term view to optimize the entire production process. Production control, on the other hand, monitors and manages the production process to achieve the best performance and meet targets. This course covers basic concepts like production and manufacturing processes, as well as advanced techniques such as lot sizing, EOQ method, order size calculation, break-even analysis, and assembly line balancing. It helps students and professionals learn how to manage inventory, plan production, and control operations effectively. The course is especially useful for students in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, production technology, and management. It is also valuable for aspiring production managers who want to improve efficiency and decision-making in real-world industries. Overall, it provides practical knowledge to understand, plan, and control the entire production system.
