PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL NOTES

PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL
Production planning and control is a tool available to the management to achieve the stated objectives.Thus, a production system is encompassed by the four factors. i.e, quantity, quality, cost and time.
Production planning starts with the analysis of the given data, i.e., demand for products, delivery schedule etc., and on the basis of the information available, a scheme of utilization of firms resources like machines, materials and men are worked out to obtain the target in the most economical way.Once the plan is prepared, then execution of plan is performed in line with the details given in the plan. Production control comes into action if there is any deviation between the actual and planned. The corrective action is taken so as to achieve the targets set as per plan by using control techniques.
Thus production planning and control can be defined as the “direction and coordination of firms’ resources towards attaining the prefixed goals.” Production planning and control helps to achieve uninterrupted flow of materials through production line by making available the materials at right time and required quantity.

NEED FOR PRODUCTION PLANNING AND0CONTROL

1. Effective utilization of firms’ resources.
2. To achieve the production objectives with respect to quality, quantity, cost and timeliness of delivery.
3. To obtain the uninterrupted production flow in order to meet customers varied demand with respect to quality and committed delivery schedule.
4. To help the company to supply good quality products to the customer on the continuous basis at competitive rates.
Production planning is a pre-production activity. It is the pre-determination of manufacturing requirements such as manpower, materials, machines and manufacturing process.
Ray wild defines “Production planning is the determination, acquisition and arrangement of all facilities necessary for future production of products.” It represents the design of production system. Apart from planning the resources, it is going to organize the production. Based on the estimated demand for company’s products, it is going to establish the production programme to meet the targets set using the various resources.

What is Heat Transfer ? Thermodynamics? ,Heat and Temperature ? conduction ,convection ,radiation -MECHANICAL

Heat transfer / Heat v/s Temperature/Modes of Heat transfer ..... BASICS OF HEAT TRANSFER While teaching heat transfer ,one of the first questions students commonly ask is the difference between heat and temperature .Another common questions concerns the difference between the subjects of heat transfer and thermodynamics . Let me begin this unit by trying to address these two questions.also three modes of heat transfer ,conduction convection and radiation. What is Heat? Heat is a form of energy. It derives its origins at the molecular scale. Molecules of a  substance vibrate at their positions either fixed or not when energy is supplied to them. As  they vibrate they transfer their energy to the surrounding molecules causing them to vibrate as well.   What is Temperature? The temperature of a body is the measure of the amount of heat content possessed by it. It is measured in degree Celcius (°C) or Kelvin(°K). The temperature of a substance is...

UNIT 2 : STEAM NOZZLES AND TURBINES

  STEAM NOZZLES AND TURBINES   Flow of steam through nozzles, shapes of nozzles, effect of friction, critical pressure ratio, supersaturated-flow.   Impulse and reaction principles, compounding, velocity diagrams for simple and multistage turbines, speed regulations-governors and nozzle governors. Numerical Problems.   STEAM NOZZLES AND TURBINES Some Technical Terms :   1. Wet steam : The steam which contains some water particles in superposition. 2. Dry steam / dry saturated steam : When whole mass of steam is converted into steam then it is called as dry steam. 3. Super heated steam : When the dry steam is further heated at constant pressure, the temperature increases the above saturation temperature. The steam has obtained is called super heated steam. 4 . Degree of super heat : The difference between the temperature of saturated steam and saturated temperature is called degree of superheat. 5. Nozzle :It is a duct of varying cross ...
