Abstract
The task of traditional production planning and control is to plan and produce the products according to management’s orders and policy. It includes the following stages: master production schedule, material requirement planning, capacity planning, shop floor control, and inventory management and control. The market has put forward software to perform these tasks. Management may decide to prepare internal software or to purchase the software which is as close as possible to that which meets its managing policy.
This chapter describes the techniques of each individual stage and indicates the decisions that should be made by management that affect company performance. The “management control section” notes may be used in choosing vendor software.
