Looking ahead and prepare for future is better than to look back and regret.  An organization especially a manufacturing in a very competitive needs to examine how it can effectively develop plan and strategies for serving its marketing.
The aim of any marketing operation is to make the future happier.  But this was not well recognized by most firms initially so job that should be handled by experts in the field of marketing were given to less qualified personnel’s and in most case this shorten the life of most business.  
Planning is the management function of setting target or objective to be achieved and detailing out ways by which the target will be achieved.
Planning is sometime greater than first thinking ahead.  In manufacturing organization (Anammco) marketing planning and control show who is to do the job (qualified marketing personnel’s) how the qualified marketing personnel’s will carryout the job and when the job will be done.

For marketing planning and control to be effective the qualified marketing personnel that carried out the marketing and control may consider some element or feature such as time.
Marketing planning and control will be effective if the plan has a stated time, for completion, the estimate of time may be varied depending on the product or firm.
For marketing planning and control to be effective the money for material needed for the effective planning must be available and human resources.
The qualified marketing personnel’s would have a group of consumers or target markets in mind and then position the organization’s or company’s product on this target market or segment.
