Production management: what exactly is it?

"If you don't move with the times, you move with the times", processes in companies are subject to constant change. Production management aims to optimize process chains and make them more effective in order to achieve the best possible operating result. The influencing factors are very individual and can vary greatly from company to company. In principle, however, production planning primarily controls the use of materials, machines and people.

"If we had doubled production without Xentral, the step would have been much more complex and expensive - and would have cost me my last nerve."

What you should look out for when choosing production planning software

  • Thumbnail Image

    Cloud-Hosting

    Perhaps the first thing you thought of when looking for suitable production planning software was not hosting it, but your solution should ideally be cloud-based. The reason for this is that you don't have to worry about many things in this case, such as updates or the dimensioning of your system. With cloud hosting, the provider takes care of this for you.

    Interoperability

    Your PPS should be adaptable to your needs through modules. The modular nature gives you the option of connecting third-party providers you already use to your system and adding new functions to your software as required. This means you don't have to look for new solutions and can guarantee a homogeneous data processing procedure.

    Cross-divisional usability

    Ideally, your production management software should not be a stand-alone solution. Instead, it should integrate seamlessly into your system landscape and connect to other areas of your company, such as purchasing and accounting.
