Lecture 13: Material-Technical Supply Planning Tables

Material-technical supply is the supply of materials and equipment. t The material-technical supply plan is a component of the whole national economic plan. Because there are many, many kinds of social products, we cannot include all of them in the material-technical supply plan. However, producer goods of major importance to the national economy must be included in order to achieve planned distribution, that is, unified distribution. The task of material-technical supply planning is to continuously and adequately supply each sector of the national economy with the necessary producer goods (namely, raw materials, processed materials, fuels, power, equipment and tools, and so forth) on a planned basis and guarantee the continuous and steady operation of all enterprises and construction units in order to fulfill and overfulfill the production plan and the capital construction plan, increase product quality, mobilize internal potential, and accelerate the turnover of working capital. The material-technical supply plan must be closely coordinated with the production plan, the capital construction plan, the import-export plan, the marketing plan, and the plan for state reserves.
