3. Challenges in Planning, Controlling and Monitoring
Productions
In the preceding section we described how goal-oriented
PPC significantly impacts logistical targets and how a
logistics-oriented production monitoring is in turn built on a
sound data base. Productions can only be effectively planned,
control and monitored when the relevant employees possess
the necessary knowledge about methods and logistic
interactions. They need to be able to apply methods as well as
conduct analyses and then to make decisions based on the
results. In turn, the employees involved in implementing the
decisions, also have to be able to understand the decisions, in
order to be able to implement them accordingly. In addition to
technological or IT based solutions for collecting and
supplying data, there are thus also extensive demands on the
knowledge and competences of an enterprise’s employees.
