Process Planning

Process planning in materials management involves determining the most efficient way to produce a product, which includes selecting the right materials, defining the steps needed to transform those materials into the final product, and organizing the necessary resources. It ensures that everything runs smoothly by aligning production goals with material availability and workflow. This planning helps minimize costs, reduces waste, and improves delivery times, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction. It's a critical step in manufacturing to ensure that all parts of the production process work together effectively.
