Production-planning is executed out in order for resources and activities to be in line over time so as to reach the objectives with a minimal amount of resource consumption (Chase et al., 2005). Adequate planning needs to be implemented in order for the plan's progress to be evaluated at regular intervals and also in order for there to be operational control. The implementation of the production plan for Riordan will involve numerous primary activities. One of the primary activities involves actually forming the appropriate team for the project, which will involve management's input. This will also entail establishing appropriate job duties. Another activity will involve choosing which methodologies, implementation tools, and MRP software should ultimately be utilized. Actually implementing the production plan will be the third activity. This will include the identification of the bottlenecks within our forecasting process and production plan in order to meet all of our clients' needs in the most advantageous way. This will ultimately enhance quality, production, and the identification of defects, and at the same time, reduce costs. The fourth activity will involve maintaining the production environment through quality control and quality assurance and making any required modifications. These activities will all occur in 30-day increments, but may be adjusted accordingly.
