COURSE CURRICULUM
COURSE TITLE: PRODUCTION PLANNING
(COURSE CODE: 3352904)

Diploma Programme in which this courses offered Semester in which offered

Textile Manufacturing Technology 5th Semester

1. RATIONALE

Due to rapid rate of change in technology, needs of industries have also changed so the
industries require highly skilled technicians. Accordingly production planning in spinning and
weaving has also changed. This course will make the students able to understand production
planning technique with respect to latest spinning and weaving technology. The students also
will be able to plan production schedule for textile industries especially in the area of spinning
and weaving with either conventional or sophisticated machines.

2. LIST OF COMPETENCY

The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop required skills
in the students so that they are able to acquire following competency:
 Plan the production for various types of jobs according to available machines in a
textile manufacturing plant.

3. COURSE OUTCOMES

The theory should be taught and practical should be carried out in such a manner that students
are able to acquire required learning out comes in cognitive, psychomotor and affective
domain to demonstrate following course outcomes.
i. Plan production in spinning and weaving.
ii. Calculate the production of spinning machinery.
iii. Calculate the production of weaving machinery.
iv. Compute the various parameters related to fabric manufacturing
v. Compute speed and draft in textile manufacturing.

Note: This specification table shall be treated as a general guideline for students and teachers. The actual
distribution of marks in the question paper may vary slightly from above table.

7. SUGGESTED LIST OF PRACTICALS

The practical/exercises should be properly designed and implemented with an attempt to

develop different types of skills (outcomes in psycho-motor and affective domain) so that
students are able to acquire the competencies/programme outcomes. Following is the list of
practical exercises for guidance.
Note: Here only outcomes in psycho-motor domain are listed as practical/exercises.
However, if these practical/exercises are completed appropriately, they would also lead to
development of certain outcomes in affective domain which would in turn lead to development
of Course Outcomes related to affective domain. Thus over all development of Programme
Outcomes (as given in a common list at the beginning of curriculum document for this
programme) would be assured.
Faculty should refer to that common list and should ensure that students also acquire
outcomes in affective domain which are required for overall achievement of Programme
Outcomes/Course Outcomes.
