What is production control?
Production control recognizes and initializes all measures that need to be carried out to ensure smooth production. It is the direct link to production planning and its designed provisions and forms the final stage in the overall production planning and control system.
Production control is also the transition from the immaterial phase to the material phase of production. Key figures come into play here, such as:
- Production output
- Forecast
- Delivery reliability
In order for production control to run smoothly, all logistical processes must also run flawlessly. Incorrect deliveries or delays in delivery can have a negative impact on production.
What are the tasks of production control?
Production control has the following tasks, among others:
- Determination of production orders
- Structuring of production orders
- Processing of the detailed scheduling
- Monitoring the production process
- Recognizing and rectifying faults and problems
The aim of production control is to be able to serve all customer orders and guarantee the company's productivity.
