The key takeaways are the different steps involved in production planning and control including sales and operations planning, material requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, and production control.

The main steps in production planning and control are sales and operations planning, material requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, production order creation, and production execution.

Material requirements planning calculates requirement coverage elements for all MRP levels, based on the demand program, taking into account lead times, lot sizes, and scrap quantities.

Process in Production Planning and

Control
Sales and operations Planning for determining
the quantities to be produced.
Material Requirements Planning to calculate net
requirements and component requirements,
taking into account scrap and lot sizes.
Capacity Requirements Planning for detailed
production planning, taking into account
available capacities.
Production control to control and record the
production process (create production
documents, record confirmations).

Sales and operations Planning
Sales Planning also referred to as demand
planning, covers future requirements without
considering stocks and available capacities.
The sales history often serves as a basis for
sales planning. Operations planning uses the
results of the sales planning process to plan
the production quantities, and takes initial
stocks and capacities into account on a
general level.
Demand Management
Demand Management aligns sales planning
with the customer requirements in
accordance with the planning strategy, and
thus calculates the independent requirements
for production.
Material Requirements Planning
Material Requirements Planning is the central
function of production planning. It calculates
requirement coverage elements for all MRP
levels, based on the demand program, and
taking into account lead times, lot sizes, and
scrap quantities.
Long-term Planning
Long-term Planning is basically a simulation of
material requirements planning. It can
examine how a change in planned
independent requirements would affect
capacity utilization, stocks, and external
procurement. Long-term Planning is also
suitable for shot-term simulations.
Production Order Creation
The central factor in controlling and recording
the production process is the production
order. How production order is created
whether by converting a planned order or by
means of interactive creation and the
functions that are executed in this process,
such as master-data selection. Scheduling, and
availability checking.
Capacity Planning
Capacity requirements planning schedules in
detail the work list, which usually consists of
the processes for created or released
production orders. Capacity Requirements
planning delivers a production sequence that
is feasible from the capacity viewpoint.
Production Execution
Production Execution is concerned with how
the actual production order is recorded and
controlled, from material withdrawal to order
confirmation to storage and invoicing.
