What is Production Planning?

Production planning is a process used to align demand with manufacturing capacity to create production and material schedules. It involves forecasting demand, planning resource allocation (materials, machines, and labor), and scheduling production runs to meet customer orders and minimize costs. It is commonly used to optimize inventory levels, reduce lead times, and improve overall manufacturing efficiency.
