Planen wir noch oder steuern wir schon? – Eine Analyse zur Abgrenzung von Planung und Steuerung

Abstract

As a result of increasing individualization and fluctuating demand, new production concepts are developed that enable dynamic adaptation to changing conditions. These new concepts require that not only products, but also machines and workplaces can be moved short term. In this context, intralogistics is facing the challenge of ensuring efficient material supply. Up to now, this could be realized by well-coordinated planning and control processes. In future, planning processes will be shifted further into operation, due to adjustments that are made during the complete intralogistic operations. Today, the transition between planning and control is not only continuous, rather the planning and control phases increasingly overlap. For this reason, the aim of this article is to delimit planning and control while considering current developments. The article describes the state of the art in the field of planning and control of intralogistics systems. It will also deal with the question to which extent planning and control can be delimited from each other under changing conditions.
