Production budget

Inventory policies. Inventory standards should be predetermined as that neither there is a shortage nor over-stocking of goods.

Sales requirements. The quantity of goods to be sold would decide to a great extent how much is to be produced. Therefore, this budget depends upon the sales budget.

In case of seasonal industries, since it is not possible to have stable levels of production or inventory, an effort should be made to have the optimum balance between the two.

6. Time taken in production process. The production should commence
