Time Phase Production Plan 

Unexpected changes in production requirements call for urgent action. It is normally easier to increase production than to decrease production profitably.  You can lease or buy more equipment and/or handle operations manually versus automatically at the beginning. Decreases call for reductions of a different nature. 

It is your responsibility to keep production and sales in reasonable alignment to maintain your business. Higher sales than production leads to frustrated customers and unmet needs and lost profit. Higher production than sales leads to high inventory and high expenses without income to pay them.
