Data Collection: Gather data on past production, sales, inventory levels, and market trends. Analysis: Analyze the data to identify patterns and trends that will inform demand forecasting. Forecasting: Use statistical methods and forecasting tools to predict future demand. Capacity Planning: Assess current production capacity and determine if adjustments are needed to meet forecasted demand. Scheduling: Develop detailed production schedules that align with capacity plans and demand forecasts. Monitoring and Control: Continuously monitor production activities and make adjustments as needed to stay on track.
