About the Book:

In today’s dynamic and globally interconnected industrial landscape, Production Planning and Control (PPC) plays a pivotal role in ensuring operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. This book has been meticulously designed to offer students, educators, and practitioners a thorough understanding of the concepts, processes, tools, and strategies involved in modern production and supply chain management. It begins with foundational insights into the evolution of production systems, covering traditional manufacturing, logistics, and the transition to integrated supply chain models. Building on this, the book delves into operations processes, various production systems, service design, and blueprinting techniques. The core of the text focuses on planning and control functions—demand forecasting, capacity planning, ERP systems, scheduling, and materials/resource planning—integrating theory with practical applications and case studies. Inventory control methods, cost considerations, and analytical models like EOQ and ABC analysis are thoroughly discussed, equipping readers with tools to optimize stock levels and minimize waste. The final unit emphasizes the strategic role of supply chain management, highlighting responsiveness, collaboration, customer service, and the enablers of a competitive SCM system. With real-world relevance, academic rigor, and a forward-looking perspective on technology, sustainability, and global competition, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for mastering the complexities of modern production planning and control.
