The Design of a Production Planning and Control System for a Food Manufacturing Company in a Developing Country, using Simulation.

This research study seeks to examine the improvements accrued by adopting production planning for a food processing organization in Zimbabwe. Relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) were considered to achieve set goals and targets. Production planning and control recommendations synchronized inputs, processes and out outputs to achieve greater level of efficiency close to world class standards. This this work structural approach to production can be useful to production practitioners and managers in industrial operations for increased higher productivity.
