How to make a monthly production plan
Thread Content
I work in a local refinery in Shandong. Different from the corporate management model of PetroChina and Sinopec, we must fully follow the laws of the market and cannot pursue processing volume one-sidedly. In this way, market changes bring uncertainty to the processing load. My colleagues, how do you formulate the monthly production plan for your production equipment? My opinion is: The supply department understands the market and submits the oil reservation to the finance department for accounting, and the production department determines the production plan based on the accounting. Is it appropriate? This post was last edited by DAC Junlintianxia on 2008-9-16 21:21 ]
I work in oleochemical industry in a foreign company. I am responsible for company planning. We develop production plans based on market demand and production economics.
Different companies also have differences, but generally speaking they have common characteristics. On the one hand: it must be determined according to the size of the company's production equipment capacity; in addition, market demand is the most important factor, which requires always grasping market demand. The corresponding sales department will feed back the latest information to production, and production will formulate corresponding production plans.
We produce urea. The designated monthly production plan is based on the operation of the device, such as the load of the device, the integrity of the equipment, and the supply of raw materials.
We are a petrochemical company and also privately owned. The monthly plan is based on the annual production tasks, that is, the device capacity minus the planned maintenance time. 120% of typical installation capacity per month.
We all hope that the equipment will run smoothly at full load, but how to solve the contradiction between the economic benefits of market changes and the stability of the equipment? After the plan is formulated, it is difficult to keep it in line with the changing market!
Different companies are different. We are a petrochemical company, and the monthly plan is formulated based on the production capacity of the unit and feedback from the sales department.
Please tell me about the 7th floor: How does the sales department provide you with feedback every month? Do you offer a monthly sales plan? Please give details. Thanks!
