1.1 INTRODUCTION:
The highest efficiency in production is obtained by
manufacturing the required quantity of a product, of the required
quality, at the required time by the best and cheapest method
PPC is a tool to coordinate all manufacturing activities in a
production system.
Production planning and control essentially consists of
planning production in a manufacturing organization before
actual production activities start and exercising control activities
to ensure that the planned production is realized in terms of
quantity, quality, delivery schedule and cost of production.
Production planning involves the organization of an
overall manufacturing or operating system to produce a product.
The various activities involved in production planning
are designing the product, determining the equipment and
capacity requirement, designing layout of material and material
handling system, determining the sequence of operations and the
nature of operations to be performed along with the time
requirements and specifying certain production quantity and
quality levels.
The main objective of production planning and control
is to provide a physical system with a set of operating guidelines
for efficient conversion of raw materials, human skills and other
inputs to qualified finished goods.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
The production planning and quality control used,
varies from company to company. Production planning includes
entire production of a product or the modification of an existing
product using the existing facilities. Quality control (QC) reviews
the quality of all factors involved in production. The difference in
production methods and controlling techniques varies mainly due
to the differences in economic and technological condition under
which a firm operates. This study was conducted to find out the
various production methods and quality control techniques used
