Production planning

Production planning assumes two inputs:

1. Production for customers
2. Production for warehouse

Production for customers means that the customer requires certain technical parameters and the product is custom-made, or the product is not in stock and the customer requires a certain delivery date.

Production for warehouse assumes production of a standard product which is distributed to individual customers from the warehouse, to ensure a minimum delivery time.

In both cases, production process of a product goes through the following states:

• New - the sales representative defines the order or the production manager defines the production for stock
• To do - the production manager prepares the production card
• In progress - the product goes through the production process (individual activities)
• Done - the product is ready and can be handed over to the warehouse or logistics
