Abstract

The organization of performance stations and networks, the scheduling of orders, inventories and resources, and the control of the processes determine the productivity and efficiency of companies and logistic systems.

The common terms organization, planning, scheduling and control have different meanings in business and engineering, in production, logistics and informatics as well as in theory and practice. The same holds for the term management, which involves planning, scheduling and control, but comprises in practice far more (Christopher 1992; Cooper et al. 1997; Schönsleben 1998).
