Find out what are the 6 steps for you to use PPC in your organization, increasing the efficiency of your production and the company as a whole.

What is the Production Planning and Control (PPC)?

<p>The PPC or Production Planning and Control is the process that manages production resources effectively and efficiently.</p><p>In this article, you will find out more deeply what MPC represents in an industry and what are the 6 steps to implement it in a company, using the following methods:</p><ul><li>What is PPC?</li><li>What does PPC mean in Industry?</li><li>What are the objectives of the PPC?</li><li>Production Planning and Control Stages;</li><li>How to implement PPC in my company?</li></ul><p>Prepared? So let&#39;s go!</p><h2><strong>What is PPC ( Production Planning and Control )?</strong></h2><p>Production Planning and Control (PPC) is an operational resource management system, allowing you to control, predict and optimize its use.</p><p>Thus, with the PPC properly implemented, an organization can make decisions and have better results in production processes.</p><p>The purpose of PPC is to ensure that the logistics are done well and that the right product is delivered to the right customer. Routing is your strategy; loading; scheduling; order; go along; inspect; and correcting the production line.</p><p>It&#39;s time for you to start your training in one of the most valued methodologies on the market!</p><p>With our <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow"  href="https://thinkleansixsigma.thinkific.com/courses/lean-six-sigma-black-belt-upgrade">Green Belt training in Lean Six Sigma</a>, you will develop fundamental skills and knowledge for your professional growth!</p><p>Our teaching methodology has content such as videos, exercises, complementary readings and personal assistance, so you can take the next step towards Green Belt professional recognition in Lean Six Sigma.</p><p>Don&#39;t waste time and reach the next level in your professional career!</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://thinkleansixsigma.thinkific.com/courses/lean-six-sigma-black-belt-upgrade">          <Image  quality="95"  src="https://images.prismic.io/voitto-blog/97fe760e-630f-45d0-9d4a-8f9cf76c75ef_Green+Belt+-+Bot%C3%A3o+Banner.png"          width="1026"          height="206" alt="Green Belt in Lean Six Sigma" title="Green Belt in Lean Six Sigma"/></a></p><h2><strong>What does PPC ( Production Planning and Control ) mean in Industry?</strong></h2><p>The PPC in Industry, for all its aspects, works on the means of production in favor of greater efficiency (achieving the correct result), with a focus on process efficiency. Thus it determines the quantities, flow design, and steps of resources and their transformations.</p><p>For an Industry, Production Planning and Control must contain:</p><p>Forward or backward programming of the production system. The first focuses on reducing delivery times, while the second focuses on materials and time allocated;</p><p>Finite or infinite loading of machines and execution stages, taking into account or not the capacities of each station individually;</p><p>Production sequencing and its sequencing, followed by push or pull control monitoring.</p><p>In addition, it is essential to know Lean Manufacturing to ensure that the product adds value through pull production. Through this philosophy, production will be optimized, eliminating waste in the process.</p><h2><strong>What are the objectives of the PPC?</strong></h2><p>Before deploying PPC in your company, you need to know the importance of your role in the organization. Through the PPC, it is possible to improve several aspects of the shop floor such as:</p><ul><li>Production machinery layout;</li><li>Control and tracking of orders;</li><li>Turnover of goods;</li><li>Use of productive resources.</li></ul><p>In general, the PPC also promotes the reduction of waste and costs of the company, increasing its profits!</p><p>Production Planning and Control Steps</p><p>Here we separate for you the 6 steps of the PPC and how they are related. Are they:</p><ul><li>Demand forecast;</li><li>Production capacity planning;</li><li>Aggregate Production Planning ;</li><li>Master Production Plan;</li><li>Detailed Production Schedule;</li><li>Production Control.</li></ul><h3><strong>1. Demand forecast</strong></h3><p>Demand forecasting is essential for projecting the inputs and resources needed for production. An estimate of the efficiency of the machines and the production metric by time is performed.</p><p>Therefore, this is the first phase that starts the production planning and control.</p><h3><strong>2. Production capacity planning</strong></h3><p>In the production capacity planning stage, the MPC analyst gathers the data analyzed in the previous demand forecast stage. The production flow and required layout are prepared</p><p>Thus, there is decision-making on future actions necessary to ensure market compliance in a long-term distribution.</p><h3><strong>3. Aggregate Production Planning </strong></h3><p>At this stage, the Aggregated Production Planning is made, which consists of a document defining strategies from the previous stages, taking into account logistics, production volume, overtime, dismissal of employees, among others.</p><p>This document is produced annually but is updated monthly.</p><h3><strong>4. Master Production Plan</strong></h3><p>In the Master Production Plan, orders from confirmed production orders and forecast demand are taken into account. It is ideally set for a medium-term and thus updated cyclically.</p><p>The difference between the PAP and the PMP is that the latter is more detailed, helping to define production planning in a shorter timeframe and fulfilling the demand adequately.</p><h3><strong>5. Detailed Production Schedule </strong></h3><p>The Detailed Production Schedule determines the daily operation of the organization, which must be delimited in the short term, through the following functions:</p><p>Release of orders: issues the documents necessary for production to take place as soon as resources are made available</p><p>Materials management: is the control of stocks and the definition of replacement of raw materials and batch sizes</p><p>Sequencing of production orders: is the definition of sequencing machines to avoid idleness and promote productivity.</p><h3><strong>6. Production control</strong></h3><p>Last but not least, production control is achieved by evaluating the conformity of actions carried out according to planning from the very first stage. This is done in a post-production moment.</p><p>At this stage, reports are provided on the performance of operations and machines, to identify bottlenecks and facilitate decision-making.</p><h2><strong>How to implement PPC in my company?</strong></h2><p>All Production Planning and Control must be a general responsibility, involving all sectors that interact with the production of the business. By determining the areas that relate to the specific tasks of each step, best practices will be jointly established.</p><p>It is noteworthy that all employees in operation must be consulted to articulate most realistically the steps in the lag.</p><p>The commercial sector can assist in planning the shop floor by organizing production by time, according to market needs. The purchasing sector evaluates the factory&#39;s idle resources, while the industrial sector analyzes and monitors the progress of production by resource.</p><h2><strong>Do you want to learn more about continuous improvement?</strong></h2><p>When we talk about projects, we think about something of great magnitude. This is a mistake, because a project may be involved with small day-to-day activities. We can cite some examples in solving internal problems, negotiating with suppliers, delivering products, implementing systems and strategies. The correct management of the projects brings benefits to the organization, being able to be used in problem-solving. Good project management defines precisely the decision-making processes and also identify causes and effects.</p><br/><p><strong>Do not waste time and download your excel spreadsheet right now.</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://conteudo.pocketbook4you.com/spreadsheet-project-monitoring">          <Image  quality="95"  src="https://images.prismic.io/voitto-blog/dfd97ead-28d9-425d-b54c-dac670009015_Bot%C3%A3o+Banner+Cursos+-+TLSS+%2811%29.png"          width="1025"          height="205" alt="Project Monitoring" title="Project Monitoring"/></a></p>
