About the book
You might have read articles on production planning and control (PPC) topics in this blog. I have posted many articles on production planning and control based on my work experience and observation. I have work experience in the PPC department but I never thought of writing a book on this subject.
The idea of writing this ebook came to my mind when one apparel business owner requested me to share a book on production planning and control related to apparel manufacturing. I had prepared a document for him covering production planning and control topics and useful tools. Later, I converted the document into a complete book by adding more content and PPC tools. This way the PPC book is written.
Production planning is the key component for success in any manufacturing business. Especially in the manufacturing sector, production planning, and control play an important role in meeting an organization’s goal in delivering goods on time. When it comes to garment manufacturing, as it is mostly an unorganized sector, company management does not care much about the production planning part. As a result, PPC department is missing in many of the garment manufacturing companies.

Factories don't have any place to hire production planning graduates. So planners learn everything related to PPC tasks and activities by doing the jobs and grows.
This is a knowledge and resource book in production planning and control areas.
In a nutshell, in this book, I have explained production planning procedures, PPC activities, and PPC tools that I used to use in practice. I will walk you through all the relevant knowledge required in planning your production activities and controlling the plan efficiently.
This book is useful for apparel industry professionals including
