Introduction
The delivery of an effective Production Planning function sits firmly with the EASA Part 145 Organization. This course identifies the roles and responsibilities of the Production Planning Team.
The organisations Quality Assurance Department is responsible for performing audits of the Production Planning Process including the following:

· Responsive to environmental conditions
· Inventory control
· Managing Competence
· Subcontract Co-ordination
· Planning of safety critical tasks
· Managing Hangar Availability

The need for successful reporting at the beginning and throughout the maintenance check should be considered as a requirement of the highest order.
Over time we gain experience on a particular aircraft type to the point where we can reasonably predict or anticipate the requirement in respect of manpower and other prerequisites which will help the pre-planning and our ability to cope with unforeseen circumstances.
The importance of Managing Competencies is considered as well as understanding the Quality Control Process in Production Planning. By Auditing the QC Processes we are able to ensure compliance with regulatory and organizational requirements.
