Abstract
New instruments of production control have been appearing on the German market for some years now (see Bauer et al. 1). One category of these is shopfloor scheduling systems or modules oriented to the structures of comprehensive PPC systems. The other type is ‘electronic control stations’ (elektronischer Leitstand) with user-friendly graphic displays based on the classic planning board (Ganttchart), interactive scheduling concepts, and their own database on either a PC or workstation. To begin, the differences between the two types of scheduling systems are explained. Following this, technical and organizational forms of using the named technology lines are analysed. To conclude, mention is made of a few assumptions on the further development of production control.
