Production planning and control (PPC) is of great importance for the competitive position of manufacturing firms. For over thirty years a large number of computer assisted PPC systems have been on offer, most of them based on the well-known MRP logic. Since these systems often lead to unsatisfactory results, a number of new concepts for PPC systems have been developed. In this paper we first describe the traditional PPC concept and its critique, then we review the new PPC concepts which are available for practical application (workload control, MRP II, OPT, JIT-Kanban, progressive figures) together with OR models which are relevant to these new concepts.

Production is planned using a long-term, medium-term or short-term view. Long-term views focus on the major decisions a company makes that influence capacity, whereas short-term views focus more on using more efficiently what a company already has. Medium-term views focus on adjustments, such as hiring, firing, layoffs, increasing inventory, or expecting back orders. Typically, companies have separate production plans for the different time horizons. While a company can focus its efforts on a particular horizon, even to the exclusion of the others, it is beneficial to maintain a focus on the long term, even if that focus is broad. For example, a company focused on increasing profit margins in the short term might neglect to reinvest some of those profits–a bad idea for any business in the long term.
