   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_Planning

   Production planning is the future of production. It can help in efficient manufacturing or setting up of a production site by facilitating required needs. [2] A production plan is made periodically for a specific time period, called the planning horizon. It can comprise the following activities:

3. Master production schedule - Wikipedia

4. Manufacturing readiness level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_readiness_level

   Full rate production demonstrated and lean production practices in place. This is the highest level of production readiness. Engineering/design changes are few and generally limited to quality and cost improvements. System, components or items are in rate production and meet all engineering, performance, quality and reliability requirements.

5. Material requirements planning - Wikipedia

   Material requirements planning (MRP) is a production planning, scheduling, and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes. Most MRP systems are software-based, but it is possible to conduct MRP by hand as well. An MRP system is intended to simultaneously meet three objectives:

6. Manufacturing execution system - Wikipedia

   A functional hierarchy was defined in which MES were situated at Level 3 between ERP at Level 4 and process control at Levels 0, 1, 2. With the publication of the third part of the standard in 2005, activities in Level 3 were divided over four main operations: production, quality, logistics and maintenance.

Pull means that the production system authorizes production based on inventory level; push means that production occurs based on demand (forecasted or present, that is purchase ...

8. Production leveling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_leveling

   Production leveling, also known as production smoothing or – by its Japanese original term – heijunka (平準化), [1] is a technique for reducing the mura (unevenness) which in turn reduces muda (waste). It was vital to the development of production efficiency in the Toyota Production System and lean manufacturing. The goal is to produce ...

9. Advanced planning and scheduling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_planning_and...

   Traditional production planning and scheduling systems (such as manufacturing resource planning) use a stepwise procedure to allocate material and production capacity.This approach is simple but cumbersome, and does not readily adapt to changes in demand, resource capacity or material availability.
