Chapter Chapter 1 in Production Planning with Capacitated Resources and Congestion, 2020, pp 1-18 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we lay out a generic conceptual framework for production planning and control (PPC) problems in discrete parts manufacturing systems. We argue that a PPC system must address two distinct problems: coordination of material flow across the different production units making up the supply chain and effective control of the detailed production activities within the different production units. The first of these is the task of the planning level. Since the production units are managed autonomously and their internal operations are not under the direct control of the planning level, order release becomes a crucial function linking the two levels. We illustrate the application of these ideas to structure the PPC problems in two quite different environments: semiconductor wafer fabrication and manufacturing of optical storage media (CDs and DVDs). We conclude the chapter with an outline of the remainder of the volume.
