Abstract
Production Planning and Control (PPC) continues to be a fascinating area of study. With the introduction and implementation of Group Technology (GT), Just-in-Time (JIT) methods and the wide-spread use of Material Requirements Planning (MRP), there is a wide variety of potential interactions available to study from master production scheduling to the shop floor execution.
