In particular, it deals with questions of material procurement and provision, warehousing, production organisation, work design and remuneration. This is followed by a description of the production planning and control systems used in practice. The focus is on concepts of forecasting, production programme planning, material requirements planning, scheduling and capacity planning, production control (sequence planning) and newer systems such as Kanban or just-in-time production.
