The implementation of the Production Planning and Control (PP) module of theSAP system uncovered a need to provide an effective computer support torelated managerial decisions not covered by typical SAP applications. Ex-amples are given in subsequent paragraphs.The manufacturing process requires an updated short-term forecast eachweek. Sales managers must produce the forecast, and then it is automaticallyprocessed within the master production scheduling. Sales figures for individualproducts have to be provided on a weekly basis for the current month and thenext month. Actual sales made each week are captured and available forreporting on the following morning (after actual sales completion). Sales staffcompare actual sales with long-term forecasts and, using judgment, makenecessary adjustments. Currently forecasts are prepared manually and then putinto the database. The process needs computer support to relieve salespersonnel and to eliminate data entry.

Almost every shipyard is involved with labor standards, either as part of an incentive program or for work method analysis. Far less common is the application of standard data as an integral part of production planning and control. This paper addresses the higher-level standards application, and focuses on standards for production scheduling. The presentation is based on the authors' involvement in a number of projects in several shipyards.

One of the greatest problems of developing countries is that they have limited sources. What is hold should be optimally used as enrichment of sources and it requires a variety of long-term measures. Economic development of a country is merely possible with increase of production and income. With this study, production planning and control which is an irreplaceable function of production in businesses and of which requirement is felt more with time, analysis of activities and formation of substructure (field, construction, machine, personnel, market etc.) conditions for establishing a new furniture factory are enabled. Within this scope, feasibility studies should be conducted in detail for systematic functioning during establishment of the factory. 73% of said businesses state that they perform production planning, however it is of consideration that there are only a few utilizing professional management organization. It is inevitable that said businesses contribute to the sector in case of commencing mass production by overcoming financial deficiencies and adopting a way of increasing their capacities.

Scientific research and mathematics are the driving forces of economic progress. Firms that can align themselves with the contemporary information and communication technology era through their decisions about the digital transformation and sustain their competitive advantage might have a higher chance of survival compared to those that cannot. The managerial decisions that revolve around manufacturing focus on production planning and control along with cost minimization. Scheduling and sequencing activities lie at the heart of production planning and control. This chapter provides a basic perspective for the transformation from the traditional batch processing type of short-term manufacturing scheduling to the single-piece flow type of scheduling while presenting a novel manufacturing scheduling model to minimize the manufacturing cost for varying setup times and job sequence.
