Production planning is an essential part of manufacturing and enables trade businesses to make the best use of their resources and make production more effective. It encompasses the planning and control of the entire production process, from materials procurement and manufacturing to delivery of the finished product. Effective production planning can prevent bottlenecks and overcapacities. Even unforeseen events such as material shortages or personnel absences can be quickly absorbed through good planning. Modern software for production planning facilitates the processes and helps to realize an effective and cost-efficient production.
