Production Planning and Scheduling (PPS) are computer-based systems for operational planning and controlling of production in manufacturing facilities.
The purpose of a Quality Management System (QMS) is to improve products and processes by defining procedures to achieve specified product quality. Quality Assurance (QA) ensures compliance with these procedures. In certain areas, specific procedures and their enforcement may also be legally required.

It covers the entire value chain from suppliers, through manufacturing and production, to the end customer. The objective is to increase efficiency and coordinate business processes between suppliers, manufacturers, customers, and logistics service providers.
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) manages stored products in terms of their quantity and value. It covers procurement, receiving, shipping, dispatching, invoicing, receivables, and cash flow management to control inventory and maximize operational results.

Solution for processing, administration, storage, and retrieval of relevant documents. Key functions include: electronic storage; access-rights management for documents; organization of document workflows depending on document type and status as well as predefined processing times; document archiving including version and history management
For each type of equipment, event or purpose, EWIs specify under which conditions and in which way the work shall be carried out and documented. EWI also defines the personnel and resources required for that work
EMI integrates and correlates production-related data typically stored in multiple and distributed corporate systems.
KPIs measure performance and economic indicators reflecting the achievement of strategic and operational goals.
MM includes planning and control of material flow in production, handling inventory, procurement, and quality control.
OEE measures the effective use of equipment by combining availability, performance, and quality rate into a single percentage.
OM ensures timely procurement of resources for on-time production and delivery.
A PRM system manages the available human resources and optimizes work assignments based on task requirements, time constraints, and skill sets
PAMS manages and monitors production equipment to optimize inspection and maintenance.
SPC manages and optimizes processes using statistical parameters and data-driven analysis.
T&T enables tracking of products throughout production, quality assurance, and logistics.
The term CKM originates from the final assembly of automobiles and represents a picking strategy in which the necessary vehicle-specific assembly parts are put into a “basket” before assembly. This basket accompanies the vehicle through the final assembly and contains the specifically selected components which are required during the assembly phases
Detailed Scheduling, often used in combination with machine control centers, is a tool for detailed planning and execution of manufacturing orders. Constraints such as technological sequences as well as optimized set-up times and production quantities are also incorporated. Detailed Scheduling optimizes machine utilization, provides computer-based rescheduling due in case of changes (priority or express orders), and clearly displays the process execution. Thus, it ensures on-time and optimized production runs. Detailed Scheduling tools are mainly used for single-part production, but also in serial production using non-interlinked equipment
Genealogy ensures that all parts which have been assembled into an end product can be tracked based on their manufacturer, origin, or specific attributes. Genealogy is also referred to as Tracing
Kanban is a system for scheduling production and logistics based on material consumption, reducing inventory and enhancing delivery reliability, evolving into eKanban through computer-based systems.
MDA collects data on machine parameters, production indicators, and operating statuses, aiding in production planning and order control.
PDA captures real-time production data such as order status, quantities, and quality metrics to monitor running processes effectively.
Production Monitoring and Control consists of dynamic real-time systems that collect and process production-related data like quantities, process parameters, and machine status. Corrective actions, such as PPS input, are automatically executed in case of deviations. Data can be transferred to subordinate systems or used for personnel instructions, depending on automation levels.
RTLS enables real-time location tracking of objects with transponders, such as automobiles, using proximity measurements or triangulation. This supports optimized refinishing and logistical processes and automates the assignment of screw connections to vehicles through automated identification.
Rework Management (RWM) is part of Quality Management and involves planning the finishing processes for products. It includes organizing work areas, managing spare parts and staff, and conducting quality tests.
Sequencing manages the machine allocation, processing order, and timing of production. It helps minimize disruptions by adjusting processing sequences in response to malfunctions.
LIMS supports the planning, control, evaluation, and archiving of lab orders. It manages master data, tracks samples, defines testing scopes, allocates tasks, and compiles reports.
PIMS handles the collection, processing, and reporting of production data. It enables data integration for production traceability and key performance indicator analysis.
Batch Analysis software evaluates production progress, yield, and quality by analyzing parameters and comparing batches with the ideal "Golden Batch."
EBRs are digital records documenting batch production, storing recipe data, process details, and event logs within MES systems.
The Scheduling Center is a solution for detailed scheduling, implementation, and status display of production orders in the process industry. It refines longer-term scheduling requirements from ERP systems using Plant Data Acquisition. It detects and tracks required materials and facilities (MT – Material Tracking and ET – Equipment Tracking). Its graphical display, often a dynamically updated Gantt-Chart, shows planned and actual equipment allocation over time. It can be a manual planning board, standalone software, or an integrated module within operations management software.
WD involves the weighing, preparation, and dispensing of materials typically added manually per recipe specifications. Materials are weighed, labeled, and supplied in containers, drums, or bags at the point-of-use to be added to the correct batches at the right time. WD software manages and documents these critical steps.
An LP model consists of a set of linear equations or inequalities that describe the relationship between variables concerning an objective function. It includes a methodology for solving this system, commonly used in optimization problems.
RPMS are systems for creating and analyzing LP models for short-term and long-term planning in refineries and petrochemical plants, supporting complex decision-making and optimization of production processes.
