Production Planning and Design:
The production planning process involves determining what and how much products to produce based on market demand, resource availability, and production capacity. To meet customer needs and preferences, product design involves developing and creating new products or modifying existing ones.
Functionality, quality, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness are among the design factors. It is also important to select the right production methods and technologies based on factors such as product complexity, volume, and customization requirements when planning production.
