production planning and control (PPC)

Production Planning and Control(PPC) is the solution approach for converting customer orders into production orders.

Production planning involves the scheduling of production orders and production dates in the production capacity, the creation of production orders and the monitoring of the scheduled capacities in comparison with the actual production process. PPS systems can accompany and support the individual activities from the sales order to the delivery of the finished product.

The sub-functions of a PPS system include requirements planning via existing orders and deliveries, resulting in the determination of the required individual components and materials, time-based production planning and the determination of the available production capacities, the management of production plans, parts data, parts lists and orders.

PPS systems are area solutions that can be integrated under computer-integrated manufacturing( CIM) with overall company systems.
