    The PPC department plans and controls production in a manufacturing organization. Its functions include planning, scheduling, and expediting of production orders. Benchmarking is comparing business processes to industry best practices. Outsourcing involves contracting external vendors to perform certain business functions. Line of balance is a production control technique that balances the workload over time and resources. Demand chain management synchronizes demand, supply, and cash flows both internally within the organization and externally with suppliers and customers. The process step that defines the maximum rate of production is Task C, which takes 3.25 minutes. To assemble 100 fans per day with a production time of 420 minutes requires a cycle time of 4.2 minutes. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is 4
