Basic Planning Types

In any planning there is a planning subject - one who makes up a plan and an object of planning - any operation that is carried out by the cotra and this plan is drawn up.

To consider the types of planning, it is necessary to understand that several types are distinguished by the type of object:

1. Production plan - it can be a balance sheet, marketing, where all the terms of process execution are identified, taking into account the cycles of manufacturing and loading equipment, as well as resource, where resources are planned.
2. The military;
3. Political;
4. Education planning;
5. Social;
6. Traffic planning;
7. Planning experiments ;
8. Planning training and other types of planning.

Also, the types of planning can be characterized by the duration of the interval. Here distinguish between technical and strategic planning. Strategic is the development of a system or the development of operations associated with a change in functions, in a structure or with the appearance of qualitative new characteristics. Operational or tactical planning determines the following opportunities: based on the strategy, tactics are developed and a quick decision is made in achieving the goals.

When the question arises of planning production operations, then allocate short-term, medium-term and long-term planning. Annual or short-term plans with a given technology produce products with a specific nomenclature. The medium-term plan says that new products with technical new characteristics are being manufactured here. This can be planning OCD, upgrading the processes of technology or preparing the production. Long-term planning carries a development plan and is the most problematic for today. The problem is that there is no specific direction for the fulfillment of the goal.

There are also types of planning for the subject:

1. Optimal planning, where the implementation of plans is carried out, which carry the best semantic load, as well as mathematical models expressing the formulation of the optimization problem.
2. Acceptable planning, here is planned the procedure for the functioning of systems based on the parameters that the structure has.
3. Adapted planning, which is a dynamic planning, carried out on the basis of mathematical models with experiments. In this case, the plan is completely improved.

Also distinguish such types of planning, which rely on knowledge of the future:

1. Deterministic planning, which suggests the future, this direction is very common.
2. Probabilistic planning.

Planning can be dynamic and statistical. In dynamic coordinates are calculated at each individual time. And in statistical planning, the components of the vector, where the state of the system is planned, do not depend on time.

From the point of view of planning activities, it can be directed to both economic planning and management planning.

Planning itself is an object for which special program-target planning is given. This planning means one of the types of plan in which activities are aimed at achieving the goal. If to speak in essence, then in every method of planning lies the point of directing this method to achieve its goals. The target planning method in many countries has established itself as the most reliable and accurate. But in Russia the history of planning is carried out somewhat in other directions. Western approaches to plan development are not always appropriate for Russian conditions.
