Production planning is the system for specifying the production procedure to obtain the desired output in a given time at optimum cost in conformance with specified standard of quality, and control is essential to ensure that manufacturing takes place in the manner stated in the plan.
Production planning is pre-production activity associated with determination of optimal production schedule, sequence of operations, etc. Production control is a complementary activity to production planning and it involves keeping track of what is happening & taking remedial action when the progress is behind schedule.
Production planning is a centralized activity and it includes functions such as order preparation, materials control, process planning and schedule. Production is a diffused activity, which includes dispatching, progressing and expediting functions.
