Track: Production Planning and Management

Abstract

Abstract
This research is designed with an objective of studying how production planning and control
systems could enhance competitiveness of steel production industries and build an integrated road
map for production planning and control strategy under conditions of raw material and logistics as
a bottleneck. In this particular research, two null hypotheses Ho1: There is no significant
correlation between PPC and competitiveness and Ho2: There is no significant correlation between
PPC and raw material logistics as a constraint have been prepared and the first null hypothesis Ho1
is rejected and the second null hypothesis Ho2 is accepted as it is due to research finding indicating
that market strategy is having a direct impact with Pearson correlation factor (r=0.868) strong
positive significant correlation than raw material and logistic Pearson correlation factor (r=0.243)
which is weak positive significant correlation. This weak correlation result indicates market
strategy have a direct impact than raw material and logistics constraints on PPC. To solve problems
such as, market is dominated by overseas products and lack of simplified production planning and
control system to overcome resource constraints an integration of pull and push production system
has been forwarded. The integration model has three main parts including supply chain and
marketing, manufacturing, and management strategies.
