The Programme Planning community at the Airbus Broughton site (near Chester) is a highly skilled team responsible for planning wing manufacture for all Airbus Commercial aircraft. The team ensures that Broughton has the capacity and capability to deliver the Airbus wing production requirements, in accordance with aircraft commercial delivery dates.
We work closely with the Operations team to provide manufacturing build schedules, resource plans, production build reporting, and scenario analysis. The department is key to providing the senior management team with the data required to enable them to make important strategic and tactical decisions.
Programme Planning is responsible for producing and maintaining the long term MPS (Master Production Schedule) for all the products across in the Broughton plant, using build rates based on customer demand. The scheduling of parts and materials for production is generated through this process. Tactical build plans are also created, which are used to optimise production in the shorter term. It is the Programme Planning team who monitors the adherence to the build plan, whilst ensuring it is achievable.
