Abstract: Abstract Production control systems (PCSs) control the flow of jobs in a production system. The selection of a suitable PCS in the context of make-to-order (MTO) is challenging, due to the characteristics of MTO businesses and the number of parameters or factors that comprise a PCS. The literature that compares PCSs in the MTO context reported contradictory results. In fact, there is a gap in the literature concerning which factors or parameters explain a PCS performance. This paper presents an analysis of comparative studies on PCS in the MTO context, using a systematic literature review, to reveal which control factors and manufacturing conditions influence a PCS performance. The analysis concentrates on studies that use simulation to assess the performance of PCSs. Our results indicate that the main difference in PCSs performance is the design of the control loops. Other important factors that must be considered in the choice of a PCS are the order release mechanism, the workload aggregation approach, and the workload estimation method used on control loops. A framework for choosing a suitable PCS for MTO companies is presented, considering these factors.
