Planning and Controlling

IT based production planning and controlling systems, so called pps-systems, take over the typical planning and controlling activities within the supply chain and / or the logistics chain. A large and even level of machine capacity utilisation, short processing times, low warehouse stocks, high availability of production materials, high readiness for delivery and maximum flexibility are only a few of the goals that we combine with using pps-systems.

Key Questions

• How do you manage the wish of your sales department for short delivery dates and high delivery reliability with the goals of your production for larger and more even capacity utilisation?
• Are quantity, date and capacity utilisation planning ideally synchronized with the frame of production planning?
• Where do production parts specification and procurement interlink with planning of quantities?
• Are clear rules in place regarding timelines and capacity planning?
• Does production controlling interface ideally with order release and production planning?
• Are profit margins of varying production programs being calculated?
