Abstract
Production planning is, by nature, a very simple task. However, traditional production planning systems and notions have made the system very complex and unproductive, as decisions are made too early in the manufacturing process.
This chapter presents a different approach, one that introduces flexibility to manufacturing in which routine is a variable and treats each order as a unit. Therefore, bottlenecks cannot be created and disruptions are solved automatically; thus, processing time and productivity increases.
