Abstract
A production planning system capable of adjusting a production plan comprises a data storage unit for storing production planning information, parts list information, parts stock information and parts warehousing schedule information; a MRP (material resource plan) explosion unit for calculating the required amount of material resources based on the production plan information and the parts list information stored in the data storage unit; and a superfluous parts adjusting unit for making adjustment to eliminate superfluous parts. The superfluous parts adjusting unit includes a superfluous parts calculation section for collating the required amount of material resources calculated by the MRP explosion unit with the parts stock information and the parts warehousing schedule information thereby to calculate the superfluous parts, and a superfluous parts elimination section for eliminating superfluous parts by changing the production plan based on the superfluous parts information calculated by the superfluous parts calculation section.
