The purpose of Project Production Control (PPC) is to ensure planned work sequence is followed and the efficient use of resources (inventory and capacity contributors – equipment, labor and space).

PPC takes milestones from the master or phase schedule then using CAPE created standard work explodes the milestones into tasks. Production plans are used to commit work and determine if work is complete. The commitment and updating the status of tasks automatically updates the production schedule and if so desired the master / phase schedule.
