Abstract
In today's competitive manufacturing environment, production planning and control is critical to meeting rising customer demands and expectations. Production planning and control includes planning material requirements, demand management, capacity planning, and scheduling and sequencing of work. The objective of this paper is to investigate the influencing factors of the production planning and control in electronics assembly. A set of questions have been designed and sent to five different companies help us to collect the data of electronics assembly. The research shows that the final assembly process and testing process are the common bottleneck for the electronics assembly process. Bottleneck is a constraint that limits its ability to produce. The constraint can be a specific step that has the longest cycle time, or if the steps have large variations in cycle time. Production planning is the planning and allocation of raw materials, workers, and workstations to fulfil manufacturing orders on time. From the perspective of the key step to consider during the production planning, material and workers are the important key steps to be considered during production planning for most companies. Production control is used to achieve optimum performance out of the production system in accordance with the planned targets. The result shows that the strategy based on planners or schedulers experience and scheduling rules are taken by most companies follow by scheduling/Optimization software and Just-in-time strategy.
