Background of the Study
Production planning, traditionally associated with manufacturing industries, is also a critical component of operational management in service-oriented industries, such as banking. United Bank for Africa (UBA) in Plateau State operates in a highly competitive banking sector, where efficient resource allocation and process optimization are essential for maintaining service quality and improving organizational performance. Production planning in banking refers to the systematic scheduling and coordination of resources, such as staff, technology, and facilities, to ensure the bank can meet customer demands effectively and efficiently (Nguyen & Sharma, 2024).
For UBA, effective production planning includes scheduling the availability of bank staff, ensuring that financial products and services are offered at the right time and in the right manner, and optimizing back-office operations such as loan processing and account management. Moreover, planning for the integration of new financial products, digital banking services, and customer outreach is crucial for enhancing the bank's market position. The impact of production planning on organizational performance is multifaceted, influencing customer satisfaction, cost control, service delivery, and profitability.
This study explores the relationship between production planning and organizational performance in UBA, Plateau State, focusing on how planning impacts service delivery, customer satisfaction, and overall efficiency.
Statement of the Problem
Despite UBA’s efforts in providing excellent financial services, challenges in production planning, such as inadequate resource management, inefficient scheduling of staff, and uncoordinated back-office operations, can lead to delays in service delivery and reduced customer satisfaction. These inefficiencies may also affect the bank's financial performance, hindering its ability to compete effectively in a competitive banking market. The lack of a robust production planning framework could be contributing to operational challenges, and as a result, this study seeks to examine the effect of production planning on UBA's organizational performance.

Data will be collected through surveys, interviews, and operational records from relevant departments, such as customer service, loan processing, and branch management.
