New Paradigms for PPC Methods in Dynamic Manufacturing Systems - Fundamentals and Approaches

An analysis of the classic PPC symptoms has lead to the following conclusions. Firstly, the realized schedule reliability in manufacturing depends largely on whether or not planning succeeds in creating realistic, i.e. feasible, production plans. Secondly, it is important to take the manufacturing behavior in the planning phase into consideration. Therefore, a new PPC model has been developed which allows the determining of the desired dynamic system behavior. The dynamic production behavior is an essential factor for the selection of PPC methods. This behavior is closely linked to the planning logic.
