project work focuses on production planning in a manufacturing
organization. It will explore the manner
in which production are planned in an organization towards achieving effective
production. What is production planning?
Production planning is the function concerned with the process of converting
raw materials into finished product, and the way in which the production
facilities such as building, equipment etc should be laid out in the space
available for production. The work is

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Production planning is a management
tool design to facilitate the achievement of organization objectives
.production. planning is also the function concern with planning, direction and
controlling the methods to be used to produce product and the way in which
production facilities such as building, equipment e.t.c. should be laid out in
the space available for production to be effectives in the area of production. Planning in modern contexts, one must be
familiar with computational and quantitative techniques and their roles in the
solution to production planning problems
A general statement of the objectives
of production planning is making the best uses of the available resources while
satisfying demand.
Considering
the topic study under production planning has a great effect on the output of
any production process i.e in achieving optimum productivity level.
Is
this study, we focus on Okin Biscuit Limited, Offa Kwara State, we look into
how production is being planned and its effect on the company’s objectives,
these and other related matters will be fully considered in the course of
study.

closely study the effectiveness and efficiency of production planning and the
implication it will bring upon the organization. Most especially as it relates
to the attainment of the set goals and objectives for which such organization
exist.
The
main purpose of this study is to examine how production planning is implemented
in Okin Biscuit Limited, Offa
Kwara State
which is the case study.
Specially,
the following points will be considered in the study:
1.
What is production
2.
What is meant by productivity agreement
3.
What are the aims and method of
production
4.
The factors affecting production
5.
The effect planning has on production in
Okin Biscuit Limited Offa, Kwara
State.
1.3 PURPOSE OR SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The
study is purposely designed to investigate into production planning in a
manufacturing organization. This study focused on Okin Biscuit
Limited Offa
Kwara State.
A profit oriented organization that needs planning in order to achieve
effective production and its desired production level.
All over the world, business
organizations operate in a dynamic environment, many of these are caused by
technological advancement, government, economic and social policies. As a
result of this the purpose of this study is to:
a)
Establish the need and importance of
production planning.
b)
Examine production planning process in Okin
Biscuit Limited Offa, with a view to determining the future sales level of its
production and make recommendation base on this discovery.
Talking
about the significance of this study as said earlier in the introduction,
production planning is of great importance as it results into effective output
and maximum utilization of all the available resources.
The significance of
production planning in a manufacturing organization is that it is enables the
various production manager to know the particular problem that affect their operation as a result of
the research being carryout thereby enabling them to implement plan in the
necessary area.
The study will also be of
great help to other student , in similar project on production planning.
1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The
scope of this project covers production planning in Okin Biscuit Limited Offa, Kwara State.
It focuses on planning production in Okin Biscuit so as to achieve their sole
aim which is optimum productivity. Production planning in Okin Biscuit Limited is
a top management activity. The
production department coordinate all these activities that are connected with
buildings, machines, equipment etc should be laid out in the space available
production.
The
limitation of the study was a result of lack of time, lack of finance and
movement restricted to only some area which makes it a bit difficult to cover
most of the places.
Inspite
of these, enough literature review was carried out in order to help achieve
other fact.

improvement in production may be
obtained, supply by increasing the resources of production such as:
- Increase the labour force
- Working additional labour
- Providing more capital and equipment
But by increasing such resources,
productivity may well be sacrificed while figure of production tell how much is produced, productivity tell
how well the resources have been used in production.
Ø Productivity

range and has a great effects. they may deal with all the factors of management
as well as technical factor and those factors dealing with overall efficiency
