Production planning is a management tool design to facilitate the achievement of organization objectives .production. planning is also the function concern with planning, direction and controlling the methods to be used to produce product and the way in which production facilities such as building, equipment e.t.c. should be laid out in the space available for production to be effectives in the area of production. Planning in modern contexts, one must be familiar with computational and quantitative techniques and their roles in the solution to production planning problems

A general statement of the objectives of production planning is making the best uses of the available resources while satisfying demand.

Considering the topic study under production planning has a great effect on the output of any production process i.e in achieving optimum productivity level.

Is this study, we focus on Okin Biscuit Limited, Offa Kwara State, we look into how production is being planned and its effect on the company’s objectives, these and other related matters will be fully considered in the course of study.

1.2  STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
