Abstract

Production planning is one of the most important tasks and strategies of production management, which should be taken as a pioneer in terms of quantity and quality considering the requirements of the competitive market promptly and with the most suitable method in various fields of product production. One of the administrators of the monotheistic system whose comprehensive program is prominently reported in the Quran is Hazrat Yusuf (A.S.). With the design and implementation of a unique production plan, that revelatory leader was aiming for better efficiency of employees, higher quality, more flexibility and improvement of the state of the government and the nation. By taking advantage of the participatory culture, he tried to eliminate the existing damage in the ruling system by institutionalizing the culture of responsibility and in this way the advantages of his plan compared to others in the way of management, organizing affairs, mass production and on time, relying on the level to draw acceptable maintenance quality and supply chain and so on to solve organizational problems and social issues. The present research has discovered and analyzed the production planning of Hazrat Yusuf (A.S.) by relying on revealed data and using the literature of organization and management science and using the content analysis method. The results and findings of the research indicate that the model used by Hazrat Yusuf (A.S.) in a three-stage process, in addition to providing biological needs and social well-being, has brought spiritual excellence and progress in spiritual dimensions, and today it can be considered as the most important in organizational planning, the effective and efficient model.
