Production Planning & Scheduling
Decide what each plant will make, in what quantity and in what order, so that customer demand is met with the capacity, materials and labor actually available rather than the ones the forecast hoped for.
- Production Scheduling
- Master Production Scheduling
- Plant Planning
- Finite Scheduling
In scope
- The master production schedule per plant and its rough-cut capacity check
- Material requirements and the purchase and production orders they trigger
- Detailed, finite scheduling of lines and work centers
- Schedule execution control, including expediting and re-sequencing
Out of scope
- Enterprise demand forecasting and the sales and operations plan (see BC-610)
- Executing the schedule on the floor (see BC-1110)
- Buying the materials the plan calls for (see BC-620)

- BC-1120.10Master Production SchedulingCommit each plant to a time-phased build plan by product family and item that honors the demand plan, inventory targets and the plant's demonstrated capacity.
- BC-1120.20Material & Capacity RequirementsExplode the build plan into the components, labor and machine hours it needs, and surface the shortages and overloads early enough to do something about them.
- BC-1120.30Detailed SchedulingSequence work orders on specific lines, machines and shifts within real constraints, so changeovers are minimized, due dates are met and the floor receives a schedule it can actually run.
- BC-1120.40Schedule Control & ExpeditingTrack the plan against actual progress during the day, decide how to respond when it slips and keep customers and the warehouse informed of what the change means for them.
- BC-1120.50Production Data FoundationsOwn the routings, bills of materials, work-center definitions and calendars that every plan is computed from, and keep them accurate as products and equipment change.
