Abstract

Production planning is an integrative process of coordinating the demand for finished product with available resources. Production planner may work several months ahead of planned delivery to ensure that specific materials, production capacity, and reliable quality management are available when needed. Long-term planning (months or selling periods) is based on forecasts, merchandise plans, and budget. Short term planning (days or weeks) is based on customer order. Egyptian mills should be prepared to become manageable with rapid changes in order styles and quantities and start adapting the concept of mass customization. This study tries to get the best production planning and control system in knitted garment mill to achieve higher efficiency to reduce time waste and control of raw material supply and different processes.
