A production/manufacturing planning system is provided with a production planning planner and a manufacturing planning scheduler . The production planning planner makes the production planning for the whole factory, and the manufacturing planing sheduler makes the manufacturing planning schedule for each of manufacturing lines on the basis of the production planning for the whole factory.
