Production planning is the process of proper utilization and control of all resources like manpower, machine, raw material and power source. This paper focused on study of production planning system which has been developed using simulated production data of manufacturing unit. The required inputs like master production schedule, material resource planning, production cycle time are considered while developing an algorithm and computer program for production scheduling. This system has been applied and validated on the simulated data of manufacturing unit.
