Abstract : The study set out to answer several specific questions regarding manufacturing firms' MPC system implementation, including how widespread the system is, what obstacles businesses encountered, what advantages they gained, and how the system correlated with operational performance. This investigation made use of a descriptive research strategy. Researchers in this study sought out responses from production, quality assurance, and financial departments at each of the 48 registered manufacturing firms in the United Arab Emirates. In order to gather information, questionnaires were utilized. Frequencies, means, percentages, and standard deviations were utilized as descriptive statistics. To examine the interrelationships of the research variables, inferential statistics were employed, including regression and correlation analysis. According to the research, the companies that participated in the study adopted and used various components of manufacturing planning control systems. Organizations adopted and implemented material requirement planning systems(3.83), just- in-time (3.88), enterprise resource planning (3.97), and manufacturing resource planning systems to a greater extent. The study found that while MPC systems have many benefits, such as reducing stock- outs and making it easy to monitor processes across departments, they also have many challenges, such as communication barriers, resistance to change, an unstable commodity market, a lack of qualified personnel, insufficient resources, long decision-making processes, late raw material deliveries, and unreliable material suppliers. According to the regression analysis, the operational performance of UAE manufacturing firms was affected by Materials Requirement Planning, Manufacturing Resource Planning, Enterprise Resource Planning, and Just-in-time systems. The research concluded that manufacturers should find alternative ways to overcome the obstacles to manufacturing planning and control system adoption and implementation. The time constraint in gathering data and attempting to meet the project submission deadline was the study's primary limitation. Although it was not the primary goal of this study, the authors did suggest doing additional research into the obstacles that businesses encounter when trying to adopt and implement manufacturing planning and controls systems. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) manufacturing firms were the focus of this study; however, the same or similar studies could be conducted for the entire country or even another country in the same industry.
