Abstract

This article analyzes the importance of the functions of production planning and control (PPC) in the manufacturing sector. Based on a literature review of 14 national and international authors, the study identifies differences in the approaches to PPC functions, but emphasizes a general agreement on its relevance for coordinating planning and operational execution. It concludes that, regardless of the industry type, PPC plays a strategic role in identifying deviations, proposing corrections, and ensuring process efficiency.
